Smart Scanner for Advertisements

The article describes one of the methods of smart advertisements with latest new discoveries such
as Augmented Reality (AR) and Object recognition. The main concept of the article is to
implement certain smart mobile application for user to have an easy and reliable access to any
product or service. Article fully describes the all procedures of all action which application
supposed to perform. In paper below, is provided “Break down of code” where heart coding of
the main project which is proposed in the given article.

Key Words: Advertisement, Augmented Reality, Object Recognition, Camera.

Introduction In the given article author is trying to

Advertisement is covering up our world
day by day. With development of the
technologies, adds also are getting advanced
accordingly. One of the latest discoveries such
as Augmented reality and Object recognition is
already pacified by advertising productions.
1. Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct
or indirect view of a physical, real-world
environment whose elements are augmented
(or supplemented) by computer-generated
sensory input such as sound, video, graphics
or GPS data [1]. It is related to a more general
concept called mediated reality, in which a
view of reality is modified (possibly even
diminished rather than augmented) by a
computer. As a result, the technology
functions by enhancing one’s current
perception of reality. By contrast, virtual
reality replaces the real world with a
simulated one [1].
2. Object recognition is a computer vision
technique for identifying objects in images or
videos. It is well computed algorithm which
allows computer to identify special shapes
(keyed in by developer) within help of
advance camera[2].
combine and implement this 2 latest nova as
AR (Augmented Reality) and OR (Object
Recognition) into the unified project.
Problem Statement of Article
Management of huge amount of information
around us is getting more complicated and
complex, so it raises misunderstandings
among the users. Moreover, informational
float might be in appropriate, so truthfulness of
data had to safe and secured for both sides for
advertiser either user.
 Data analysis of adds around the user
 Truthfulness of given information
 Immediate response from
manufacturers
 Safety of the users
Implementation
Implementation of the project does not require
any integrity with hardware. It is mobile based
application where cell phone with camera
would be completely sufficiently. Mobile
Application could be written for two platforms
such as Android and iOS.
Figure 1.0 describes the interaction between
user and devise where device simultaneously
connected to the host.

Break down of code base
1. It allows us to enter the API Key, which key
will only work when using the eu.kudan.ar
application Id and can be found at
https://wiki.kudan.eu/Development_License_
Keys.
2. System request for the camera permission to
be granted while using the callback.
if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA) !=
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
){ Log.d("Marker","Did !=
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
");
if(ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermi
ssionRationale(this,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA)){ } else{
//request forpermission-use the callback
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new
String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA},
MY_PER_CAM); } } }
3. This method should be overridden and all
the AR content setup placed within it. This
method is called only at the point at which the
AR Content is ready to be set up. It checks for
the camera permission is granted or denied. If
granted hence the workflow of the system will
continue or else it will return until and unless
the permission is not granted.
@Override public void
onRequestPermissionsResult(int
requestCode,String
Permissions[],int[]grantResults){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"onRequestPermissionsResult",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
switch(requestCode){ case MY_PER_CAM:
{ if(grantResults.length>0 &&
grantResults[0] ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Ca
mera
Granted",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Ca
mera
Denied",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); }
return; } } }
4. Create our trackable with an image:
ARImageTrackable trackable =
createTrackable("Marker","lego.jpg");
Get the trackable Manager:
ARImageTracker trackableManager =
ARImageTracker.getInstance();
Add image trackable to the image tracker
manager:
trackableManager.addTrackable(trackable)
5. Create an image node using an image of
the kudan cow:
ARImageNode cow = new
ARImageNode("target.png"); Add the image
node as a child of the trackable's world:
trackable.getWorld().addChild(cow);
6. Initialize "video texture"
ARVideoTexture videoTexture = new
ARVideoTexture();
videoTexture.loadFromAsset("sample-mp4-
video.mp4");
Initialise video node with video texture
ARVideoNode videoNode = new
ARVideoNode(videoTexture);
2
Add video node to image trackable
trackable.getWorld().addChild(videoNode);
Apply Video scale
float scale = trackable.getWidth() /
videoTexture.getWidth();
videoNode.scaleByUniform(scale*0.5f);
7. Initialize "bigimage" node
ARImageNode imageNode = new
ARImageNode("eyebrow.png");
Add image node to image trackable
trackable.getWorld().addChild(imageNode);
Apply image scale
ARTextureMaterial textureMaterial =
(ARTextureMaterial)imageNode.getMaterial(
); float scale = trackable.getWidth() /
textureMaterial.getTexture().getWidth();
//imageNode.scaleByUniform(scale);
texture2D.loadFromAsset("bigBenTexture.pn
g");
Apply model texture to model texture
material
ARLightMaterial material = new
ARLightMaterial();
material.setTexture(texture2D);
material.setAmbient(0.8f, 0.8f, 0.8f);
Apply texture material to models mesh nodes
for(ARMeshNode meshNode :
modelImporter.getMeshNodes()){
meshNode.setMaterial(material); }
modelNode.rotateByDegrees(90,1,0,0);
modelNode.scaleByUniform(0.25f);
Figure 2.0 presents the Activity Diagram of
Article

8. Initialise "alphavideo" texture

ARVideoTexture videoTexture = new
ARVideoTexture();
videoTexture.loadFromAsset("kaboom.mp4")
; Initialise alpha video node with video
texture
ARAlphaVideoNode alphaVideoNode = new
ARAlphaVideoNode(videoTexture);
Add alpha video node to image trackable
trackable.getWorld().addChild(alphaVideoNo
de);
Apply alpha video scale
float scale = trackable.getWidth() /
videoTexture.getWidth();
alphaVideoNode.scaleByUniform(scale*10f);
9. Import model
ARModelImporter modelImporter = new
ARModelImporter();
modelImporter.loadFromAsset("ben.jet");
ARModelNode modelNode =
(ARModelNode)modelImporter.getNode();
Load model texture
ARTexture2D texture2D = new
ARTexture2D();

 Conclusion
The Project which is expressed in article
covers Advertising industry and could be
implemented also in different spheres of
industry. Within help of this application users
could easily interact with right and safe
commercials (information). It allows them to
grab detailed data about certain product or
service. Application itself could only run with
advanced smartphones which has well
configured cameras. The given project in
article is developed for Android, but it could
be converted to iOS for the future work.
Moreover, this project includes internal
entrainment for user itself, with 360⁰ pictures,
advanced augmented reality videos etc.
