Abstract

An Augmented virtual Environment (AVE) fuses dynamic image with 3D models. An AVE provides a unique approach to visuaiizing spatial relationships and temporal events that occur on real world environments, A geornetric scene model provides a 3D substrate for the visualization of multiple Image sequences gathered by fixed or moving image sensors. The resulting viualization is that of a world in-miniature that depicts the corresponding real-world scene and dynamic actrvities, This paper describes the core elements of aN AV£ system, including static and dynamic model construction, sensor tracking, and image projection for 3D visualization.
