This paper proposes an augmented reality marker that can be robustly detected
even on a cylindrical surface. The marker enables the surface normal
estimation of a cylindrical object to realize the presentation of appropriate
virtual information on the object. Conventional markers have difficulty
detecting and obtaining accurate surface normal in the presence of occlusion
or distortion of the marker in the image. Furthermore, it is difficult to
identify a feature on a cylindrical object on which to position a marker.
These problems are resolved by relying on the characteristic that a line
parallel to the central axis of the cylinder maintains linearity. In
addition, surface normal is calculated by estimating the object's shape by
using transformation matrices.
