A MARKERLESS AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEM FOR WATER ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISASTER PREVENTION SIMULATIONS AND ITS APPLICABILITY

Abstract

 This paper presents a visualization system based on the marker-less augmented reality for unsteady water environmental and disaster simulations. The marker-less method using a landscape image is employed for the positioning method for the virtual information and real images. The present system is applied to typical water environmental and disaster problems in river and coastal region in order to investigate the applicability of the method. The present method is to be a useful tool for the visualization in case that a lot of feature points are located at the simulation area.
