Getting Started With ArUco Markers
In this article, we'll look at detecting and estimating the orientation of ArUco markers using Python and OpenCV.
First, we'll start by generating ArUco markers. You can use a specific website to create single tags one by one or use my program to generate whole pages of markers.
Once you have created some markers, I will show you another program for detecting these. This program can also determine the axes of the pose of these ArUco markers.
The code I have written here is in Python, but for more advanced detection and pose estimation applications, you may want to look to C++ for their implementation.
What you find below is a result of my curiosity and wanting to experiment with image processing. Any constructive comments are welcome.
Generating ArUco markers
If you want to create ArUco markers one by one, then you can use this website by Oleg Kalachev. This website offers a simple interface, as you can see below:
