Abstract

In mobile outdoor augmented reality applications, accurate localization is critical to register virtual augmentations over a real scene. Vision-based approaches provide accurate localization estimates but are still too sensitive to outdoor conditions (brightness changes, occlusions, etc.). This drawback can be overcome by adding other types of sensors. In this work, we combine a GPS and an inertial sensor with a camera to provide accurate localization. We will present the calibration process and we will discuss how to quantify the 3D localization accuracy. Experimental results on real data are presented.
