In this paper, we propose a new histogram based hand recognition algorithm for augmented reality. Hand recognition system makes it possible a useful interaction between an user and computer. However, there is difficulty in vision-based hand gesture recognition with viewing angle dependency due to the complexity of human hand shape. A new hand recognition system proposed in this paper is based on the features from hand geometry. The proposed recognition system consists of two steps. In the first step, hand region is extracted from the image captured by a camera and then hand gestures are recognized in the second step. At first, we extract hand region by deleting background and using skin color information. Then we recognize hand shape by determining hand feature point using histogram of the obtained hand region. Finally, we design a augmented reality system by controlling a 3D object with the recognized hand gesture. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives more than 91% accuracy for the hand recognition with less computational power.

Recently, augmented reality is divided into broadly marker based and markerless based as part of HCI (Human Computer Interaction). Markerless based is augmented object using natural features in real-world environment. On the other hand, Marker based is use to calculate easily the coordinates and exactly augmented object using flat marker of rectangular. However, marker-based image is provided due to the presence of the marker in a markerless, giving users a more less realistic and immersive view. In this paper, We research about combined diminished reality and augmented reality for Marker-Based Augmented Reality System Structure using Object Removal Tchnique in order to increase realistic and immersive view.

증강현실에서 자연스럽고 인간 친화적인 인터페이스로는 비전 기반의 손동작을 이용한 인터페이스가 가장 각광받고 있다. 그러나 복잡한 배경에서 손을 찾고 손동작을 인식하는 것은 여전히 어려운 문제로 남아 있다. 특히, 배경에 살색을 가진 물체가 많이 있다면 이 문제는 더욱 해결하기 어려워진다. 이 논문은 손 영역을 정확하게 검출 하는 방법에 초점이 맞춰져 있으며, 효과적인 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 기본적으로 손과 팔을 포함하는 영역이 다른 피부색 영역과 다른 밝기를 가지고 있다고 가정한다. 구체적으로 제안하는 방법은 밝기 차이를 이용하여 피부색 영역으로부터 손과 팔을 포함하는 영역을 검출한다. 본 논문에서는 밝기 차이를 구분하는 방법으로 �o지(edge) 영상을 이용한다. 그 다음 손과 팔의 기하학적 특징을 이용하여 손목을 찾고 손을 포함하는 사각형 영역을 검출한다. 마지막으로 사각형 영역으로부터 손을 찾아낸다. 손을 찾는 방법 또한 약간 다르지만 비슷한 밝기 기반의 추출 방법을 사용한다. 우리는 간단한 손동작 기반의 증강현실 인터페이스를 구현함으로써 제안한 방법의 효용성을 검증한다.

AR(Augmented Reality) technology is now easily shown around us with respect to its applicable areas' being spreaded into various shapes since the usage is simply generalized and many-sided. Currently existing camera vision based AR used marker based methods rather than using real world's informations. For the marker based AR technology, there are limitations on applicable areas and its environmental properties that a user could immerse into the usage of application program. In this paper, we proposed a novel AR method which users could recognize objects from the real world's data and the related 3-dimensional contents are also displayed. Those are done using image processing skills and a smart mobile embedded camera for terminal based AR implementations without any markers. Object recognition is done from the comparison of pre-registered and referenced images. In this process, we tried to minimize the amount of computations of similarity measurements for improving working speed by considering features of smart mobile devices. Additionally, the proposed method is designed to perform reciprocal interactions through touch events using smart mobile devices after the 3-dimensional contents are displayed on the screen. Since then, a user is able to acquire object related informations through a web browser with respect to the user's choice. With the system described in this paper, we analyzed and compared a degree of object recognition, working speed, recognition error for functional differences to the existing AR technologies. The experimental results are presented and verified in smart mobile environments to be considered as an alternate and appropriate AR technology.

Augmented reality makes people feel realistic and reduces the damage to cultural properties that can come into contact with the actual cultural heritage. Augmented reality has the advantage that it can show the past appearance of the historical building or relics, the environment, or related information in addition to the current real environment. Despite these values ​and advantages, As a result of researches and analyzes of the Augmented Reality contents of the National Museum, 'palace in my hand', and the Miruksa project In the field of domestic cultural heritage warriors, augmented reality technology has shown a very negative attitude such as simply showing cultural heritage content or using it as a guide. However, various conditions such as display and sensor hardware and technology needed to realize augmented reality more effectively are improving day by day. And If you have various facilities such as the idea of ​adding storytelling to the exhibits and WiFi building, In the near future, it will be equipped with a display system of cultural heritage contents that combines augmented reality with a more complete one.

As the recent advances in network and wireless communications and semiconductor design and process technologies, our computing platform is rapidly shifting from desktop PCs to mobile devices such as UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC), Tablet PC, and Smartphone. Especially, wide-spreading Smartphones allow a new field of application based on location based services available with an user interface called augmented reality (AR). Therefore, this paper introduces an implementation of AR using various OpenAPls on Android Smartphones. In order to utilize enrich user data in real time, the system integrates with location based social network services also with OpenAPI. These APIs enable third-party developers to make use of rich contents of many portal web sites. The prototype was implemented on the real Android phone, Sky Sirius, and the result shows that it can provide an efficient location based service using AR technology without any constraints on mobile devices; in addition, it connects SNS to AR for sharing user data including photos, videos, and messages based on a specific location.

In this study, an augmented reality(AR)-based information management system for agricultural facility is proposed. Using a variety of sensed data transmitted by Lora-based wireless networks deployed at the agricultural facility, this system is capable of augmenting the sensed data and displaying them on the user's smartphone screen to provide visualized information to user. When users point their smartphone camera to the agricultural facility, the environment information collected from numerous sensors installed at the facility would be visualized and appear on the screen. Unlike traditional system which requires user to search a specific facility and then select sensor(s) to obtain the environment information, the proposed system shows the information on smartphone screen by augmenting it with real image captured by camera without doing a series of time-taking selection process. Since the way of acquiring information is through image or video, this system contributes to convenient monitoring and efficient management for agricultural facility.
