Parameters

image	input image necessary for corner subpixel.
markerCorners	list of detected marker corners from detectMarkers function.
markerIds	list of marker ids in markerCorners.
squareMarkerLengthRate	rate between square and marker length: squareMarkerLengthRate = squareLength/markerLength. The real units are not necessary.
diamondCorners	output list of detected diamond corners (4 corners per diamond). The order is the same than in marker corners: top left, top right, bottom right and bottom left. Similar format than the corners returned by detectMarkers (e.g std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point2f> > ).

cameraMatrix	optional input 3x3 floating-point camera matrix \(A = \vecthreethree{f_x}{0}{c_x}{0}{f_y}{c_y}{0}{0}{1}\)
distCoeff	optional vector of distortion coefficients \((k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6],[s_1, s_2, s_3, s_4]])\) of 4, 5, 8 or 12 elements

Performs marker detection in the input image. Only markers included in the specific dictionary are searched. For each detected marker, it returns the 2D position of its corner in the image and its corresponding identifier. Note that this function does not perform pose estimation.

distCoeffs	vector of distortion coefficients \((k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6],[s_1, s_2, s_3, s_4]])\) of 4, 5, 8 or 12 elements
rvec	Output vector (e.g. cv::Mat) corresponding to the rotation vector of the board (see cv::Rodrigues). Used as initial guess if not empty.

useExtrinsicGuess	defines whether initial guess for rvec and tvec will be used or not. Used as initial guess if not empty.

This function receives the detected markers and returns the pose of a marker board composed by those markers. A Board of marker has a single world coordinate system which is defined by the board layout. The returned transformation is the one that transforms points from the board coordinate system to the camera coordinate system. Input markers that are not included in the board layout are ignored. The function returns the number of markers from the input employed for the board pose estimation. Note that returning a 0 means the pose has not been estimated.

charucoIds	list of identifiers for each corner in charucoCorners
board	layout of ChArUco board.

§ estimatePoseSingleMarkers()

void cv::aruco::estimatePoseSingleMarkers	(	InputArrayOfArrays	corners,
		float	markerLength,
		InputArray	cameraMatrix,
		InputArray	distCoeffs,
		OutputArray	rvecs,
		OutputArray	tvecs,
		OutputArray	_objPoints = `noArray()`
	)

Pose estimation for single markers.

Parameters

corners vector of already detected markers corners. For each marker, its four corners are provided, (e.g std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point2f> > ). For N detected markers, the dimensions of this array should be Nx4. The order of the corners should be clockwise.

See also: detectMarkers

Parameters

markerLength	the length of the markers' side. The returning translation vectors will be in the same unit. Normally, unit is meters.
cameraMatrix	input 3x3 floating-point camera matrix \(A = \vecthreethree{f_x}{0}{c_x}{0}{f_y}{c_y}{0}{0}{1}\)
distCoeffs	vector of distortion coefficients \((k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6],[s_1, s_2, s_3, s_4]])\) of 4, 5, 8 or 12 elements
rvecs	array of output rotation vectors (

See also: Rodrigues) (e.g. std::vector<cv::Vec3d>). Each element in rvecs corresponds to the specific marker in imgPoints.

Parameters

tvecs	array of output translation vectors (e.g. std::vector<cv::Vec3d>). Each element in tvecs corresponds to the specific marker in imgPoints.
_objPoints	array of object points of all the marker corners

This function receives the detected markers and returns their pose estimation respect to the camera individually. So for each marker, one rotation and translation vector is returned. The returned transformation is the one that transforms points from each marker coordinate system to the camera coordinate system. The marker corrdinate system is centered on the middle of the marker, with the Z axis perpendicular to the marker plane. The coordinates of the four corners of the marker in its own coordinate system are: (-markerLength/2, markerLength/2, 0), (markerLength/2, markerLength/2, 0), (markerLength/2, -markerLength/2, 0), (-markerLength/2, -markerLength/2, 0)

If the size of baseDictionary is higher than nMarkers, only the first nMarkers in baseDictionary are taken and no new marker is added.

minMarkers	number of adjacent markers that must be detected to return a charuco corner

This function receives the detected markers and returns the 2D position of the chessboard corners from a ChArUco board using the detected Aruco markers. If camera parameters are provided, the process is based in an approximated pose estimation, else it is based on local homography. Only visible corners are returned. For each corner, its corresponding identifier is also returned in charucoIds. The function returns the number of interpolated corners.

	)

Refind not detected markers based on the already detected and the board layout.

Parameters

image	input image
board	layout of markers in the board.
detectedCorners	vector of already detected marker corners.
detectedIds	vector of already detected marker identifiers.
rejectedCorners	vector of rejected candidates during the marker detection process.
cameraMatrix	optional input 3x3 floating-point camera matrix \(A = \vecthreethree{f_x}{0}{c_x}{0}{f_y}{c_y}{0}{0}{1}\)
distCoeffs	optional vector of distortion coefficients \((k_1, k_2, p_1, p_2[, k_3[, k_4, k_5, k_6],[s_1, s_2, s_3, s_4]])\) of 4, 5, 8 or 12 elements
minRepDistance	minimum distance between the corners of the rejected candidate and the reprojected marker in order to consider it as a correspondence.
errorCorrectionRate	rate of allowed erroneous bits respect to the error correction capability of the used dictionary. -1 ignores the error correction step.
checkAllOrders	Consider the four posible corner orders in the rejectedCorners array. If it set to false, only the provided corner order is considered (default true).
recoveredIdxs	Optional array to returns the indexes of the recovered candidates in the original rejectedCorners array.
parameters	marker detection parameters

This function tries to find markers that were not detected in the basic detecMarkers function. First, based on the current detected marker and the board layout, the function interpolates the position of the missing markers. Then it tries to find correspondence between the reprojected markers and the rejected candidates based on the minRepDistance and errorCorrectionRate parameters. If camera parameters and distortion coefficients are provided, missing markers are reprojected using projectPoint function. If not, missing marker projections are interpolated using global homography, and all the marker corners in the board must have the same Z coordinate.
