SUMMARY:Accurate calibration methods are critical to achieving accurate registration in Augmented Reality (AR) systems. Most calibration methods developed so far focus on achieving the accurate registration within certain view distance ranges. Examination of work tasks in construction, however, indicates that the AR system registration accuracy may not satisfy the accuracy demands of work tasks due to variations in the view distances. This fact indicates the necessity of multi-range calibration for measuring the positions of objects at various view distances with appropriate accuracy. This paper is an initial investigation of the constraints associated with construction sites conducted to ensure the appropriate system accuracy of multi-range AR systems designed for use in these environments.
