Abstract

The ability to localize a device or user precisely within a known space, would allow many use cases on the context of location-based augmented reality. We propose a localization service based on sparse visual information using ARCore [4], a state-of-the-art augmented reality platform for mobile devices. Our service is constituted by two components: front-end and back-end. On the front-end, using the point cloud generated by ARCore as feature points, a corresponding binary keypoint descriptor algorithm like ORB [6] or FREAK [1] is computed to describe the place. On the back-end, this binary descriptor is searched in a map using the bags of binary words technique [3], responding with the position of the recognized place.

Real-time tone mapping – An evaluation of color-accurate methods for luminance compression

Recent advances in real-time rendering enable virtual production pipelines in a broad range of industries. These pipelines are based on a fast, latency-free handling in addition to the accurate appearance of results. This requires the use of high dynamic range rendering for photo-realistic results and a tone mapping operator for a matched display.
