Marker Classification Method for Hierarchical Object Navigation in Mobile Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality has attracted much attention with presentation of Smart Phone. In this paper, we propose an object navigation system using the marker-based hierarchical mobile augmented reality. In order to provide the location of the destination, we set the marker at the location of the object by using the technique which groups the spatial location into several zones to configure the hierarchical Marker. Each group is similar in the marker number to include. A searching method using Stratified Marker can be performed hierarchically not only wide but also narrow area. This navigator can identify the markers in the small display device of mobile equipment conveniently.
