Frustration Free Pose Computation For Spatial AR Devices in Industrial Scenario

The quest for finding the killer application for Industrial Augmented Reality(IAR) is still active. The existing solutions are ingenious but most can not be directly integrated with the existing industrial workflows. Generally, IAR applications require modifications in the industrial workflows depending on the tracking methodology. These modifications end up being an overhead for the users and deter them from using AR solutions. In this poster we propose a resourceful solution to achieve end-to-end workflow integration with minimum effort from the user end. The solution is suited for laser guided Spatial Augmented Reality(SAR) systems mainly preferred for industrial manufacturing applications. We also introduce a new concept for pose computation, which is inspired from existing mechanical concept of part alignment. The accuracy of our method is comparable to the classical marker based methods. The complete process of pose computation, from initialisation to refinement, is designed to be plug and play.
