Chapter 3. Marker-less Augmented Reality
In this chapter readers will learn how to create a standard real-time project using OpenCV (for desktop), and how to perform a new method of marker-less augmented reality, using the actual environment as the input instead of printed square markers. This chapter will cover some of the theory of marker-less AR and show how to apply it in useful projects.
The following is a list of topics that will be covered in this chapter:
- Marker-based versus marker-less AR
- Using feature descriptors to find an arbitrary image on video
- Pattern pose estimation
- Application infrastructure
- Enabling support for OpenGL visualization in OpenCV
- Rendering the augmented reality
- Demonstration
