Abstract:
An issue in AR applications with Optical See-Through Head- Mounted Display
(OST-HMD) is to correctly project 3D information to the current viewpoint of
the user. Manual calibration methods give the projection as a black box which
explains observed 2D- 3D relationships well (Fig. 1). Recently, we have
proposed an INteraction-free DIsplay CAlibration method (INDICA) for OSTHMD,
utilizing camera-based eye tracking[7]. It reformulates the projection in two
ways: a black box with an actual eye model (Recycle Setup), and a combination
of an explicit display model and an eye model (Full Setup). Although we have
shown the former performs more stably than a repeated SPAAM calibration, we
could not yet prove whether the same holds for the Full Setup. More
importantly, it is still unclear how the error in the calibration parameters
affects the final results. Thus, the users can not know how accurately they
need to estimate each parameter in practice. We provide: (1) the fact that
the Full Setup performs as accurately as the Recycle Setup under a
marker-based display calibration, (2) an error sensitivity analysis for both
SPAAM and INDICA over the on-/offline parameters, and (3) an investigation of
the theoretical sensitivity on an OST-HMD justified by the real measurements.
