Integration of Georegistered Information on a Virtual Globe

Abstract

In collaborative augmented reality (AR) missions, much georegistered information is collected and sent to a command and control center. This paper describes the concept and prototypical implementation of a mixed reality (MR) based system that integrates georegistered information from AR systems and other sources on a virtual globe. The application can be used for a command and control center to monitor the field operation where multiple AR users are engaging in a collaborative mission. Google Earth is used to demonstrate the system, which integrates georegistered icons live video streams from field operators or surveillance cameras, 3D models, and satellite or aerial photos into one MR environment.
