Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) registration plays a pivotal step in augmented reality (AR) systems. Traditional 3D registration methods have the disadvantages of poor accuracy and robustness. This paper proposes a novel registration method, we believe, for AR systems based on the AKAZE and Tanimoto similarity measurement method. In this paper, the image feature points are extracted and matched by combining the AKAZE algorithm and the Tanimoto similarity measurement method. Then, the camera pose is estimated by calculating the constraint relationship of the feature points. Finally, the 3D registration and real-time tracking of the virtual objects are realized by the Lucas–Kanade (LK) optical flow tracking algorithm. We use Tanimoto to determine the similarity of feature points to improve the matching accuracy of the AKAZE algorithm, and this method not only retains the advantages of strong scale adaptation but also has the advantage of high-precision matching. Experiments show that the method proposed in this paper has the benefits of high registration accuracy, low time consumption, and strong robustness. Under the premise of ensuring accuracy, when the marker is rotated or blocked, it can be accurately registered. In addition, when the external environment changes, for example, the light intensity or the size of the parallax, the registration can still be stable.
