Detailed Description

ArUco Marker Detection Square fiducial markers (also known as Augmented Reality Markers) are useful for easy, fast and robust camera pose estimation.

The main functionality of ArucoDetector class is detection of markers in an image. If the markers are grouped as a board, then you can try to recover the missing markers with ArucoDetector::refineDetectedMarkers(). ArUco markers can also be used for advanced chessboard corner finding. To do this, group the markers in the CharucoBoard and find the corners of the chessboard with the CharucoDetector::detectBoard().

The implementation is based on the ArUco Library by R. Muñoz-Salinas and S. Garrido-Jurado [87].

Markers can also be detected based on the AprilTag 2 [273] fiducial detection method.

◆ drawDetectedCornersCharuco()

void cv::aruco::drawDetectedCornersCharuco ( InputOutputArray  image,
InputArray  charucoCorners,
InputArray  charucoIds = noArray(),
Scalar  cornerColor = Scalar(255, 0, 0) 
)
Python:
cv.aruco.drawDetectedCornersCharuco(image, charucoCorners[, charucoIds[, cornerColor]]) -> image

#include <opencv2/objdetect/charuco_detector.hpp>

Draws a set of Charuco corners.

Parameters
imageinput/output image. It must have 1 or 3 channels. The number of channels is not altered.

Parameters
imageinput/output image. It must have 1 or 3 channels. The number of channels is not altered.
diamondCornerspositions of diamond corners in the same format returned by detectCharucoDiamond(). (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.
diamondIdsvector of identifiers for diamonds in diamondCorners, in the same format returned by detectCharucoDiamond() (e.g. std::vector<Vec4i>). Optional, if not provided, ids are not painted.
borderColorcolor of marker borders. Rest of colors (text color and first corner color) are calculated based on this one.

Given an array of detected diamonds, this functions draws them in the image. The marker borders are painted and the markers identifiers if provided. Useful for debugging purposes.

◆ drawDetectedMarkers()

void cv::aruco::drawDetectedMarkers ( InputOutputArray  image,
InputArrayOfArrays  corners,
InputArray  ids = noArray(),

Python:
cv.aruco.drawDetectedMarkers(image, corners[, ids[, borderColor]]) -> image

#include <opencv2/objdetect/aruco_detector.hpp>

Draw detected markers in image.

Parameters
imageinput/output image. It must have 1 or 3 channels. The number of channels is not altered.
cornerspositions of marker corners on input image. (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.
idsvector of identifiers for markers in markersCorners . Optional, if not provided, ids are not painted.
borderColorcolor of marker borders. Rest of colors (text color and first corner color) are calculated based on this one to improve visualization.

Given an array of detected marker corners and its corresponding ids, this functions draws the markers in the image. The marker borders are painted and the markers identifiers if provided. Useful for debugging purposes.
