Abstract
A method for improving the placement of virtual content in augmented reality is disclosed. A reference image of the object to be augmented is analyzed for feature density information. The placement of content is based on the at least one location adjacent to where features are concentrated. Accordingly, the chance of the content interfering with an important part of the object is lowered, and object recognition and/or tracking ability is maintained because there are sufficient features nearby the content to enable object recognition and/or tracking.
