Development of interface using marker less AR for hydroponic culture managing systems in the distant place

Abstract

In recent years, hydroponics has been attracted, that can perform high productivity to land scale. We propose hydroponics managing system that can manage the farm using robot from a remote location. However, user of this system is not necessarily familiar to robot. Therefore, it is necessary to build the interface that can manage and control intuitively robots. In previous study, the system is constructed by Web camera and AR marker. In this study, we propose an interface construction using RGB-D sensor. The propose method can realize recognition of the movement of the hand without using AR marker. Therefore, users can operate AR objects by only hands and can be realized more intuitive operation.
