Abstract

In this paper, a registration method for outdoorwearable AR systems is described. Our approach is basedon using a high precision gyroscope, which can measure3DOF angle of head direction accurately, but with somedrift error. We solved the drift problem with a vision-baseddrift compensation algorithm, which tracks naturalfeatures in the outdoor environment as landmarks fromimages captured by a camera on an HMD. This paper firstdescribes the detail of the vision-based drift compensationmethod. Then, a calibration method for the orientationsensor is proposed. Finally, using results from an actualwearable AR system, a comparison of registration errorwith and without vision-based drift compensationdemonstrates the feasibility of the proposed method.
