Abstract
A system and method can support image based determination of mobile device location through recognition of surface features for a previously scanned physical environment. The system and method can also support authoring and positioning of augmented reality features in an authoring interface using the same images and positions of surface features that are to be used for subsequent mobile device localization. As a result, mobile devices leveraging those same images and positions of surface features for localization will be more likely to obtain a localization that is consistent with the positioning displayed in the authoring interface. Augmented reality features authored using the same scan of the environment can be reliably displayed to an end user of an augmented reality application in a position consistent with their authoring in a common coordinate system, even though the authoring may have been performed remotely, away from the actual situs of the physical environment.
