Abstract

In recent years, most mobile navigation systems adopt augmented reality (AR) to provide location-aware and interactive multimedia contents for visitors’ reference. Most AR navigation systems support only one target recognition and then only acquire corresponding contents from data servers for reducing storage and network costs. With the increase of multimedia navigation information, the performance of data acquisition for resource-constrained mobile devices must be improved for better user experience. In this paper, we propose not only the multi-target AR recognition mechanism but also the polygon approximation based data acquisition to improve performance of mobile AR navigation system by accelerating spatial data acquisition. In the proposed approach, the query efficiency and search precision can be well controlled according to the requirements of different applications.
