Instant Tracking-Based Approach for Interior Décor Planning with Markerless AR

Abstract

There is an increase in the demand for the interior décor planning industry. Although initially used for extravagant events, the facilities have become gradually availed by everyone. The applications of Augmented Reality could potentially transform this industry by making it more convenient for consumers to plan their home and office interiors in their own time on their phone or system. This application would help in designing and planning the floor space virtually with a range of options available for selection. The implemented system works by using not just the images captured by the camera on the device, rather by using the orientation of the camera with respect to the ground plane that has to be detected. The Maxst SDK performs instant tracking to find the relative distance between the camera and the plane by focusing on the ground plane. This gives a more realistic view for the consumer to judge their fit efficiently with the dimensions of items, and save the manual work of moving furniture. The implemented system is evaluated for its deployment time for various models and performance under different distances.
