Abstract(in English) We often need an efficient way to find out an object book quickly from a number of books on large shelves in a library. In this paper, we propose a user-friendly library search system by using augmented reality. In our system, each book on the shelf is identified by the feature points of its back cover image. The actual position of the object book on the shelf is easily visualized through a display of the user's tablet terminal when the user trains the tablet's camera on the shelf in full view. To achieve real-time image recognition on the tablet devices, we arrange book monitoring clients in front of each shelf. The monitors watch the all images of the shelves including the book's back covers inside. The monitors are connected to the library database, which the user's terminal access via wireless network. We show the implementation of our prototype system, and discuss effectiveness and problems of our approach through the evaluation experiments.
