Concept demo of an Augmented Reality application. Currently the user takes a picture of an historical building and sees the image merged with an historical image (historical painting or old photograph) of that bulding.
The recognition of the building is done using GPS and orientation data from the android phone, together with local invariant features extracted from the image (SIFT). These features are then also used to calculate the optimal transformation for aligning the historical image of the building with the current image of the user. For now, all these calculations are done on a remote server which sends back the processed image.
