Proposal of a zoo navigation ar application using markerless image processing

Abstract

In this research, we propose an inbound zoo navigation application using augmented reality technology by markerless image processing. This application provides animal guide board in multiple languages by AR technology, and distributes animal quiz to zoo visitors by using beacon. Zoo visitors can enjoy animal book, zoo navigation, animal character collection, etc. via this mobile application. Moreover, the zoo keepers can freely update various contents provided by the mobile application via the content management web application.
