Design and development of a multi-layer augmented reality image generator for defense industry applications

In this thesis, a multi-layered architecture image generator application has been developed by introducing a new approach to realizing applications while with augmented reality technology on mobile devices such as wearable smart glasses and mobile phones. Augmented reality applications has been build on computer graphics technology . These technology is combining the real world with the virtual world, provided the user with enhanced visual / interactive content in real time. These application consumes the available resources of the hardware platforms on which it operates, such as processors, graphics processors and batteries is used at quickly high level. Mobile devices are inadequate in the realization of high-detail modeling and applications requiring intensive graphics processing. The image generator architecture, which was developed to solve this problem, has enabled the transfer of graphic processes that require high resource consumption to platforms that have no resource constraints. As a result of, low and constant resource consumption for wearable and other mobile devices for all levels of content is achieved and application efficiency is improved. Theses results, particularly in terms of bringing solutions to problems were studied during field applications in the defense industry. At the end of thesis has been analyzed to find solutions for the problems in the field aplication, development has been made with C ++ language. Qt Libraries are used in window management, OpenSceneGraph library in OpenGL infrastructure and OpenCV library in image processing and matrix operations. The tests have been made in the mobile devices that use ARM and INTEL processor architecture and the computers that use intel desktop platforms.
