Quantitative evaluation of overlaying discrepancies in mobile augmented reality applications for AEC/FM.

•Most Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) systems lack of overlaying accuracy and precision.•MAR errors are due to tracking (positioning/orientation) and image processing (projection/distortion).•The Drift-Vibration-Threshold function (DVT) filters the drift suffered by sensor systems.•This new methodology mathematically performs a quantitative evaluation, in world coordinates, of overlaying discrepancies on the screen.
