ARCargo: Multi-Device Integrated Cargo Loading Management System with Augmented Reality

Traditional cargo loading requires a static recording of cargo information and status on paper. Storekeepers need to arrange cargoes by memory or cargo menus, severely restricting the entire cargo loading management process. To address this problem, we present a multi-device integrated cargo loading management system with Augmented Reality (AR), termed ARCargo, which monitors cargoes by fusing perceptual information from multiple devices in real-time. Then, we propose a visual localization method using hybrid features to strengthen the localization accuracy. For providing an intuitive and user-friendly interactive way, we design AR-driven guidance and monitoring alarms to reduce the workload of cargo loading management. Extensive experiments show that our system can efficiently, intelligently, and conveniently carry out cargo loading management operations.
