Best Paper Award at the IEEE Workshop on Mobile Vision

Visiting student Rémi Paucher and Professor Matthew Turk received a Best Paper Award at the IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Vision in San Francisco on June 18, 2010, for their paper entitled “Location-based augmented reality on mobile phones.” The paper described research on determining the precise 3D location and orientation of a smart phone in a known environment, using the device’s camera and other internal sensors, to enable the accurate overlay of augmented visual information in the scene – e.g., for use in touring a museum, exploring a historical building, or navigating through a space in a search-and-rescue operation. The work was partially funded by Nokia.
