AR marker detection on GPU using WebGL*
1. Introduction While developing a 3D model scanning implementation, I realized that fiducial Augmented Reality (AR) markers are a simpler alternative to the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. AR markers have the added benefit of marking a cut-off plane separating the scanned 3D object from the environment. After evaluating existing solutions, I started designing the algorithm and...

Depth camera capture in HTML5
Depth camera capture in HTML5 In the last few months, several improvements to the Chromium* open source project have enabled web applications to capture and manipulate depth stream data from cameras like the Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera1. This pushes the boundaries of what JavaScript* apps can do and enables application developers to innovate new features and web apps. In this article I’ll...
