Abstract

Realistic visualizations illustrating the visual impact of planned large structures and buildings in the landscape are challenging and often difficult to create. In this paper, a mobile outdoor augmented reality application is presented that enables realistic and immediate on-site visualization of planned wind turbines at their intended geographic location superimposed on the live camera image of mobile devices. For this purpose, a manual localization procedure is described that uses 3D geospatial models (e.g., digital surface models) displayed in the camera view to enable precise global orientation and positioning of the mobile device resulting in very realistic AR visualizations. In addition, the functions, implementation details and evaluation results of the mobile application are presented.
