Two-Phase Calibration for a Mirror Metaphor Augmented Reality System

According to the ways to see the real environments, mirror metaphor augmented reality systems can be classified into video see-through virtual mirror displays and reflective half-mirror displays. The two systems have distinctive characteristics and application fields with different types of complexity. In this paper, we introduce a system configuration to implement a prototype of a reflective half-mirror display-based augmented reality system. We also present a two-phase calibration method using an extra camera for the system. Finally, we describe three error sources in the proposed system and show the result of analysis of these errors with several experiments.
