Active projection system for dynamic real objects

Abstract

AR (Augmented Reality) technology aims to realize a fusion of virtual worlds and the real world. This technology is very useful also practical use or art. We propose an AR system which enables seamless relation between those two worlds by overlaying virtual images on real objects. A stereo camera is used to acquire color and disparity data of real object. In order to determine the position and the posture of the object more accurately, we performe some image processing and data optimization techniques. Finally, we project texture images on the appropriate position of the real objects by using a projector.
