How to draw a Perspective-Correct Grid in 2D

I have an application that defines a real world rectangle on top of an image/photograph, of course in 2D it may not be a rectangle because you are looking at it from an angle. The problem is, say that the rectangle needs to have grid lines drawn on it, for example if it is 3x5 so I need to draw 2 lines from side 1 to side 3, and 4 lines...

iPhone SDK 3.0 Camera Access

Hey Could anyone advise on whether the iPhone SDK 3.0 still does not allow access to the raw camera pixel data This is how it was with all the previous SDKs and I thought it must have been a move by Apple to ensure they were the first ones to implement the video recording. Since 3.0 now has video recording, and as far as im aware the ...

How to use animation with augmented Reality?

Spatial geometry for augmented reality applications

Hi, Does anyone know any good book or web resource for geometric and mathematical fundamentals of augmented reality? Thanks! ...

iphone camerOverlay for use with Alternate Reality applications

Does anyone know a way to take an image captured on the iphone's camera, and do some image processing (e.g. edge detection, skeletization), and then overlay parts of the processed image on the original image (e.g. only the highlighted edges). More generically how do I create a UImage with transparency (do I just scale the image and ove...

Reading and writing on webcam stream

Is it possible to use java to write into a webcam stream? I've tried JMF and got it to capture the image but couldn't find a possibility to write into the stream. ...

Painting over JMF component

I'm capturing the Stream from a webcam and would like to draw something on top of the video image. I try that in the example below, the problem is that the other component is always in the background no matter how I arrange the components. Is there a way do solve this? public class SwingCapture extends JPanel { private static final...

Using SIFT for Augmented Reality

I've come across MANY AR libraries/SDKs/APIs, all of them are marker-based, until I found this video, from the description and the comments, it looks like he's using SIFT to detect the object and follow it around. I need to do that for Android, so I'm gonna need a full implementation of SIFT in pure Java. I'm willing to do that but I n...

How do you create an off-center PerspectiveCamera in WPF?

I'm trying to more or less recreate Johnny Lee's Wii head tracking app, but using an augmented reality toolkit for the tracking, and WPF for graphics. To do this, I need to create a perspective camera using the top, bottom, right, and left parameters to create my viewing frustum, instead of field of view and aspect ratio (to those famili...

SURF and SIFT Alternative Object Tracking Algorithm for Augmented Reality

After asking here and trying both SURF and SIFT, none of them seams to be efficient enough to generate interest points fast enough to track a stream from the camera. SURF, for example, takes around 3 seconds to generate interest points for an image, that's way too slow to track a video coming from a web cam, and it'll be even worse when...

How to get Augmented Reality: A Practical Guide examples working?

Hi, I recently bought the book: Augmented Reality: A Practical Guide (http://pragprog.com/titles/cfar/augmented-reality). It has example code that it says runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. But I can't get the binaries to run. Has anyone got this book and got the binaries to run on ubuntu? I also can't figure out how to compile the exa...

How to detect height of iPhone (for use in augmented reality game)?

I'm working on locating an iPhone device in 3D space. I can use lat/long to detect physical location, I can use the magnetometer to figure out the direction they're facing, and I might be able to use the accelerometer to figure out how their device is oriented, but I can't figure out a way to get height of the device off the floor. Spe...

Is my understanding of the functions of compass & GPS correct in AR apps ?

In an AR app whereby you annotate objects or buildings in a camera view, I want to understand the role, that different hardware bits - on the phone (iPhone/Android) - play to achieve the AR effect. Please elaborate more on the following: Camera: provides the 2D view of reality. GPS: provides the longitude,latitude of the device. Compas...

Augmented Reality with iPhone 3GS and UIView

Hi, I am experimenting a bit with the iPhone 3GS and its magnetic sensors. It is quite simple to get the heading and the angle of the north pole seen from the top of the device. Also getting the position of the device itself via accelerometer is quite easy. But getting it all together deserves some math knowledge regarding vector calcula...

Game engine for augmented reality

Hi there, For an augmented reality project I want to display a high resolution live camera feed. Then in front of this I want to display a model than can be manipulated (translate, stretch, etc) in real time. I was going to use OpenSceneGraph but realized it will be a lot of work to get the manipulations working. So I would prefer a mo...
