A few weeks ago, HCI Lab
researchers and colleagues from iMareCulture EU project have published a
peer-review paper at the Eurographics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural
Heritage which was held at Vienna, Austria. The paper is entitled "Improving
Marker-Based Tracking for Augmented Reality in Underwater Environments".
A new method was introduced based
on white balancing that enhances underwater images to improve the results of
detection of markers. This method was compared with several image enhancement
methods and their performance was evaluated. Results show that our method
improves the detection in underwater environments while keeping the computation
time low.
