FIDUCIAL MARKER PATTERNS, THEIR AUTOMATIC DETECTION IN IMAGES, AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

Fiducial markers are printed patterns detected by algorithms in imagery from image sensors for applications such as automated processes and augmented reality graphics. The present invention sets forth extensions and improvements to detection technology to achieve improved performance, and discloses applications of fiducial markers including multi-camera systems, remote control devices, augmented reality applications for mobile devices, helmet tracking, and weather stations.
