Augmented Reality On Mobile Internet Devices Based On Intel® Atom™ Technology

Article Description

Many of the latest mobile devices contain cameras, as well as location, orientation, and motion sensors. In this article, we demonstrate how mobile Internet devices, based on the Intel® Atom™ processor can access and provide information to users in a different manner than traditional web based information sources. Our system uses a combination of camera, and location and orientation sensors, to augment live camera views on a device with available information about the objects in the view. The augmenting information is obtained by matching a camera image to a database that resides on a server, which contains half a million images. Each image has geotags identifying its location. After matching an image taken with the camera with images from the database, a combination of motion-estimation algorithms and orientation sensors is used to track objects of interest in the live camera view and to place augmented information on top of these objects. We optimized the software to take advantage of the Intel Atom processor, and we present the results of a detailed performance analysis. (Filetype/Size: PDF 716 KB)
