6. CONCLUSIONS
The previous sections presented an outdoor ARS used as part of
a tool for earthquake disaster management. Possible hardware
configurations have been shown and possible data available in
case of an disaster has been discussed. A method to establish
the match between real-world scenery and virtual extension and
a new method to reconstruct polygonal shapes is given. The
results of first experiments of the method to reconstruct the
shape of polygonal objects have been shown. From the results
in section 5 it can be concluded that, despite minor difficulties,
the methods are working and might be of use in the case of an
disaster. To prove the usability in that case a larger set of virtual
planning possibilities has to be offered by the system and the
ARS has to be tested using real damages.
