Abstract:
A system and method for markers with digitally encoded geographic coordinate information for use in an augmented reality (AR) system. The method provides accurate location information for registration of digital data and real world images within an AR system. The method includes automatically matching digital data within an AR system by utilizing a digitally encoded marker (DEM) containing world coordinate information system and mathematical offset of digital data and a viewing device. The method further includes encoding geographic coordinate information into markers (e.g., DEMs) and decoding the coordinate information into an AR system. Through use of the method and corresponding system, marker technology and the basis of geo-location technology can be combined into a geo-located marker, thereby solving the problem of providing accurate registration within an augmented reality.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of providing an augmented reality experience with a user device, comprising:\n operating a camera of the user device to acquire an input image of a physical environment, wherein a digitally encoded marker (DEM) is positioned at a marker location within the physical environment; with a processor running a marker decoder utility, decoding data from the DEM by processing the input image, wherein the decoded data comprises at least one of geographic coordinate data and relative coordinate data; from memory of the user device, retrieving digital content for a virtual object; and displaying an augmented reality image, on a display screen of the user device, including the input image and an overlay image representing the virtual object positioned within the augmented reality image based on the decoded data from the DEM and the marker location, wherein the overlay image is positioned within the augmented reality image using the at least one of the geographic coordinate data and the relative coordinate data decoded from the DEM without calculating coordinates of the DEM in the physical environment, and wherein the displaying further comprises registering the at least one of geographic coordinate data and the relative coordinate data, decoded from the DEM, to relative coordinates in the augmented reality image.
