Abstract

We propose a marker-less Augmented Reality (AR) application based on a realtime hand posture estimation technique for smartphones. A conventional marker-less AR system does not have sufficient accuracy and speed in the detection of a mobile device. This paper presents a fast hand posture estimation algorithm based on a combination of feature points and feature lines that consist of the boundary of fingers. The proposed method realized rendering of virtual 3D models on a hand over 12 frames per second (fps) on a smart-phone. Simulation results show that we can archive about 73% complexity reductions and be more accurate than the conventional method.
