Development and Applicability of a Visualization System for Environmental Flow Problem based on Markerless Augmented Reality

Abstract

 This paper presents a visualization system based on augmented reality technology for environmental flow problem. The 2D marker-less method using a landscape image for the studied site is employed for the positioning method for the virtual image and real image. The present system is applied to the flow visualization for the air flow simulation around the building in urban area. The validity and applicability is investigated through the application examples. From the results, the present system is shown to be a useful tool for AR visualization of environmental flow simulation.
