Mobile Mixed Reality Transposer - object recognition, tracking and replacement

Subject:
Development of Smartphone-based software, which identifies any symbol in real time via a video stream and provides the user with additional information in real time above the symbol.

Project context:
Scientific work at the INVENSITY Innovation Center

Detailed description of the project:
Implementation of different procedures for image processing and object recognition
Binarization using thresholding techniques such as the Otsu or Wellner method for adapting to the lighting situation
Template matching technique for object recognition using correlation and fast Fourier transform (FFT), implementation and testing of algorithms
Optimization of algorithms with regard to limited resources and necessary speed in the embedded environment, realization of the system on a smartphone

Tools/methods used:
C++, .NET Compact Framework
