A system for supporting paper-based augmented reality.

In this paper, we aim to implement augmented reality (AR) on distant text documents or books. For this purpose, we propose a new paper-based AR system that can detect text documents in real scenes, markerize and identify them, estimate their relative 3D poses to the camera, and augment them with virtual contents. Unlike the previous paper-based AR systems (applicable to only close documents), the proposed system not only requires no detection of words or characters, but allows partial occlusions like the previous systems. In our experiments, the proposed system worked at 24 fps and could consistently achieve high identification rates for both occluded and unoccluded pages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
