DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICABILITY OF A VISUALIZATION SYSTEM BASED ON MARKERLESS AUGMENTED REALITY FOR WATER ENVIRONMENTAL FLOW PROBLEMS

Abstract

 This paper presents a visualization system based on Augmented Reality technology for water environmental flow problem. The marker-less method using a landscape image is employed for the positioning method for the virtual and real images. The present system is applied to the several water flow simulation for river and sea. In order to investigate the setting method for the marker image, the present system is applied to several water environmental problems such as river and coastal flows. From the application examples, it is important to exclude the water surface region from the marker image to improve the stability and accuracy of the superposition of CG image.
