Abstract

We present MARCH, a complete solution for enhanced cultural heritage discovery using the mobile phone. Simply point the camera of a mobile device at prehistoric cave engravings. Then MARCH augments the captured images with the expert's drawings, highlighting in real time the animal engravings, which are almost impossible to observe with the naked eye. We have created a mobile augmented reality application which runs at 14 FPS for 320x240 frames on a Nokia N95 smartphone. We describe the optimizations and the requirements needed to obtain these results on mobile devices.
