Using Aerial Photographs for Improved Mobile AR Annotation

Overview This paper presents a mobile augmented reality system for outdoor annotation of the real world. To reduce user burden, it uses aerial photographs in addition to the wearable system's usual data sources (position, orientation, camera and user input). This allows the user to accurately annotate 3D features with only a few simple interactions from a single position by aligning features in both their first-person viewpoint and in the aerial view. This paper examines three types of aerial photograph features - corners, edges, and regions - that are suitable for a wide variety of useful mobile augmented reality applications, and are easily visible on aerial photographs.
