| Abstract | This work presents a novel approach that adopts content caching techniques towards reducing computation and communication costs of Augmented Reality (AR) services. The application scenario under investigation assumes an environment of static objects, each one associated to a holographic content. The goal is to devise practical low-overhead methods so as to reduce the amount of resources above that are needed for the most resource-demanding AR process, namely object recognition. The proposed method is based on caching images using a combination of metrics to rank them such as: (i) an object popularity index which favours objects that are most probable to be requested for recognition, (ii) the percentage of times when the object label has been encountered in the past, (iii) the probability that an image is similar enough with already encountered past images with the same label. The aforementioned image caching method drastically reduces database searches and returns the matched object that satisfies the needs of object recognition. We also devise a binary decision operator that initiates the object recognition process only upon comparison of spatial data of the AR device with the targeted object. The resulting performance is measured using a client-server architecture and components such as Wireshark, Unity Profiler, and Python. For our proposed architecture we deploy an edge server to satisfy the demands of the AR service. Results indicate that the proposed methods can significantly reduce both the computational resources and the induced network traffic, thus improving user experience. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
