Abstract

This paper proposes a scalable building facade recognition and tracking system for outdoor augmented reality enabling real time augmentation of various information onto the facade. The system is composed of three modules: recognition and tracking module, server-client module and GPS module. In the recognition and tracking module, Generic Random Forest was used for real time recognition and three-dimensional pose estimation of facades. For scalable recognition, global region is divided into multiple local regions and then, same regional buildings are trained separately into a forest. In the server-client module, client maintains own travel map in order to choose proper forest by employing GPS sensor, and server transmits a new forest when client detects never visited regions. This makes our system scalable and also expansible to new regions.
