Application of Augmented Reality Gis in Architecture APPLICATION OF AUGMENTED REALITY GIS IN ARCHITECTURE Yan Guo a,*, Qingyun Du a, Yi Luo a, Weiwei Zhang a, Lu Xu a a Resources and Environment Science School, 129 Luo Yu Road, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, [email protected] Commission V, WG V/2 KEY WORDS: Augmented Reality, 3D GIS, Architecture, Urban planning, Digital photogrammetry ABSTRACT: Paper discusses the function and meaning of ARGIS in architecture through an instance of an aerodrome construction project. In the initial stages of the construction, it applies the advanced technology including 3S (RS, GIS and GPS) techniques, augmented reality, virtual reality and digital image processing techniques, and so on. Virtual image or other information that is created by the computer is superimposed with the surveying district which the observer stands is looking at. When the observer is moving in the district, the virtual information is changing correspondingly, just like the virtual information really exists in true environment. The observer can see the scene of aerodrome if he puts on clairvoyant HMD. If we have structural information of construction in database, AR can supply X-ray of the building just like pipeline, wire and framework in walls. 1. INTRODUCTION Real environment (RE) and virtual environment (VE) are at two sides, mixed reality (MR) is in the middle, AR is near to the 1.1 Definition real environment side. Data created by the computer can augment real environment and enhance user’s comprehension Augmented reality (AR) is an important branch of virtual about environment. Augmented Virtuality (AV) is a term reality, and it’s a hot spot of study in recent years. AR is that created by Milgram. It means add RE images to VE, such as organically, in real-time and dynamically overlaying virtual add texture mapping video on virtual objects. This term can images created by computers and other information on real increase virtual object’s reality degree, decrease virtual object environment which the observer sees. And when the observer and real object’s differences. But VE is entire virtual. In AR moves in real environment, virtual information changes real object and virtual object and user environment must be according to the movement, just like those virtual information seamlessly integrated together. truly exists in real world. Azuma R.T. summed up AR with three properties: combines real and virtual objects in a real The most important in the feature of interactive of AR system is environment; runs interactively, and in real time; and registers displaying relative information and permitting user to move (aligns) real and virtual objects with each other (Azuma, 1997). discretionarily in information spaces. To portray at the same With the help of photoelectric display technique, interactive time the whole physical space in which the user walks in AR is technique, Calculator sketch technique and visualization a very speciality of GIS. The association of AR and GIS technique, AR created virtual objects not exist in real produces a characteristic, turning traditional inside static man- environment. And by sensor technique AR well overlaid virtual machine interactive mode to outdoor dynamic mode. It objects on real environment. syncretizes the traditional GIS virtual world with the external true one to construct a imaginary-real man-made world. The 1.2 Characteristics earliest research on virtual reality GIS is Georgia industrial school description system (Faust, 1995). Augmented reality might apply to all senses, not just sight. So far, researchers have focused on blending real and virtual images and graphics. However, AR could be extended to include sound. The user would wear headphones equipped with microphones on the outside. The headphones would add synthetic, directional 3D sound, while the external microphones would detect incoming sounds from the environment. This would give the system a chance to mask or cover up selected real sounds from the environment by generating a masking signal that exactly canceled the incoming real sound (Durlach, Fig.1 Milgram’s reality-virtuality continuum Mavor, 1995). AR started at 1960s, Sutherland invented head mounted display (HMD) to display 3D images. AR is not a Not as virtual reality system, AR technique is still at laboratory study realm until recent years. Milgram (Milgram, Kishino, stage. At present, exploited successfully registration technique 1994) defined a reality-virtual continuum. must be in controlled environment so it can capture accurate tracking result.

RELATED WORK dimentional environment, accuracy tracking and registration system (Julier, 2000). There has been much research in the field of AR in the past years. AR technique not only has similar application field with VR, but it is also excellent in RE augmented effect. In medical, anatomize training, exactitude instrument produce, assembly and maintain, drill, engineering design and long-distance robot etc so many fields, AR has more superiority than VR. In this paper, we mostly discuss follow aspects. Construction touring, analysis and rebuilding can be applied to aerodrome construction, inspection and renovation. 2.1 Construction Touring The first set of known AR system is Campus touring machine by Feiner of Columbia University (Feiner, 1997). This sketch (fig.2) illustrates how a MARS (mobile augmented reality system) unit could be used. Using that system, user can see certain constructions’ related information in campus (department or construction’s name), or certain construction in Fig.3 BARS shows the interior construction of a building by the past. The system adopts passive sensor (including compass this system and incline sensor) and difference GPS, but when user moves faster, system error is bigger. At present, the researchers work 2.3 Construction Rebuilding on overlaying some information, such as past constructions in campus, paths to certain destination, events happened in Another application of AR system is letting users see characters observer locus and so on, on real scene. and events in the past or in the future. When tourists visit cultural heritage, they can not see their past scene. For a modernistic tourist it is difficult to imagine past refulgence of a place. So at some historic sites there are always some actors wearing old-time habiliments performing past scene. But tourists with outdoor AR system can see redivious history created by the computer. HMD can shelter modern constructions or cenotaphs in the back, display culture heritage information at then. Fig.2 Prototype of Campus Touring Machine 2.2 Construction Analysis In Rockwell Science Center, a research group registers by checking ground level contour and compare it with local geographic model. Azuma research group develop a system, including compass and three rate gyro incline sensor, use a tracking method of video based inertia mixed with optical, with a condition of already known land mark can minimize error to a few pixels (Azuma, 1999). But this system can not do real time tracking at the moment. Fig.4. It is an AR scene in Archeoguide project. This project is run by many Greece research institutes and governments.

Wellington2 · Guy Nir4 Published online: 8 November 2018 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Detailed studies of the microglial response after TBI require high throughput quantification of changes in microglial count and morphology in histological sections throughout the brain. In this paper, we present a fully automated end-to-end system that is capable of assessing microglial activation in white matter regions on whole slide images of Iba1 stained sections. Our approach involves the division of the full brain slides into smaller image patches that are subsequently automatically classified into white and grey matter sections. On the patches classified as white matter, we jointly apply functional minimization methods and deep learning classification to identify Iba1-immunopositive microglia. Detected cells are then automatically traced to preserve their complex branching structure after which fractal analysis is applied to determine the activation states of the cells. The resulting system detects white matter regions with 84% accuracy, detects microglia with a performance level of 0.70 (F1 score, the harmonic mean of precision and sensitivity) and performs binary microglia morphology classification with a 70% accuracy.

  • Sampling Theory for Digital Video Acquisition: the Guide for the Perplexed User
    Sampling Theory for Digital Video Acquisition: The Guide for the Perplexed User Prof. Lenny Rudin1,2,3 Ping Yu1 Prof. Jean-Michel Morel2 Cognitech, Inc, Pasadena, California (1) Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, France(2) SMPTE Member (Hollywood Technical Section) (3) Abstract: Recently, the law enforcement community with professional interests in applications of image/video processing technology has been exposed to scientifically flawed assertions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of various hardware image acquisition devices (video digitizing cards). These assertions state a necessity of using SMPTE CCIR-601 standard when digitizing NTSC composite video signals from surveillance videotapes. In particular, it would imply that the pixel-sampling rate of 720*486 is absolutely required to capture all the available video information encoded in the composite video signal and recorded on (S)VHS videotapes. Fortunately, these statements can be directly analyzed within the strict mathematical context of Shannons Sampling Theory, and shown to be wrong. Here we apply the classical Shannon-Nyquist results to the process of digitizing composite analog video from videotapes to dispel the theoretically unfounded, wrong assertions. Introduction: The field of image processing is a mature interdisciplinary science that spans the fields of electrical engineering, applied mathematics, and computer science. Over the last sixty years, this field accumulated fundamental results from the above scientific disciplines. In particular, the field of signal processing has contributed to the basic understanding of the exact mathematical relationship between the world of continuous (analog) images and the digitized versions of these images, when collected by computer video acquisition systems. This theory is known as Sampling Theory, and is credited to Prof.

Hardie It is desirable to obtain a high image quality when designing an imaging system. The design depends on many factors such as the optics, the pitch, and the cost. The effort to enhance one aspect of the image may reduce the chances of enhancing another one, due to some tradeoffs. There is no imaging system capable of producing an ideal image, since that the system itself presents distortion in the image. When designing an imaging system, some tradeoffs favor aliasing, such as the desire for a wide field of view (FOV) and a high signal to noise ratio (SNR).

Medical images are mostly used as radiographic techniques in diagnosis, clinical studies and treatment planning. Medical image processing tool are also similarly as important. With a medical image processing tool, it is possible to speed up and enhance the operation of the analysis of the medical image. This paper describes medical image processing software tool which attempts to secure the same kind of programmability advantage for exploring applications of the pipelined processors. These tools simulate complete systems consisting of several of the proposed processing components, in a configuration described by a graphical schematic diagram. In this paper, fifteen different medical image processing tools will be compared in several aspects. The main objective of the comparison is to gather and analysis on the tool in order to recommend users of different operating systems on what type of medical image tools to be used when analysing different types of imaging.
