Reconstructing While Registering: A Novel Approach for Markerless Augmented Reality

This paper addresses the registration problem for unprepared multi-planar scenes. An interactive process is proposed to get accurate results using nothing else than the texture information of the planes. In particular, the classical preparation steps (camera calibration, scene acquisition) are greatly simplified, since included in the on-line registration process. Some results are shown on indoor and outdoor scenes. Videos available at url http://www.loria.fr/˜gsimon/Ismar.
