Origami recognition system using natural feature tracking

Abstract

This paper introduces a system that can recognize different type of paper-folding by users. The system allows users to register and use their desired paper in the interaction, and detect the folding by using Speed Up Robust Feature (SURF) algorithm. The paper also describes a paper-based tower defense game which has been developed as a proof of concept of our method. This method can be considered as the initial step for seamlessly migrating meaningful traditional art of origami into the digital world as a part of the interactive media.

“…Research further indicated that interacting with a 3D model virtually can be far less intuitive than actually making the physical model [12,37], and tangible interfaces supported better problem-solving process than the software interfaces did [24,41]. In addition, tangible artefacts and interfaces have demonstrated their benefits to design iteration [4], digital fabrication [39], digital entertainment [38,40], and medical service [29].…”
