Abstract
We present a mobile AR application designed to be used by urban maintenance workers as a field-assistance tool. Using any standard smartphone camera, our system can accurately detect the desired equipment and augment it with relevant information and step-by-step instructions on how to do any required maintenance jobs. Alongside this mobile application, we also developed a desktop application for creating and authoring the data and augmentations that should be displayed during a given job (Archer). This paper proposes a novel approach to automatically detect and minimize the amount of points (checkpoints) at which the app will ask the user to perform a new equipment recognition, which are useful in order to maintain tracking stability as the user modifies the real-world object during the course of the job. The experiments and user tests demonstrate the accuracy and practicality of the developed systems, which can effec- tively be used to greatly improve the workflow of urban maintenance workers.
