ArUco markers and boards detection for robust camera pose estimation

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 [99].

Markers can also be detected based on the AprilTag 2 [292] fiducial detection method.
