Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology by which a user’s view of the real world is augmented with additional information from a computer model. AR applications require a very accurate model of the environment (a reality model) to augment the current view seamlessly with synthetic information (the virtual model). In this paper, we report on the problems we encountered with image data from real exterior construction sites. We discuss quality requirements for reality models in order to be useful in AR applications, and we outline potential further needs for reality models.
