Editing Projects:Automatic generation of optimal marker patterns (section)

== Aims ==

* Generate unique patterns which can be optimally tracked and distinguished given the input design criteria (e.g. maximum number of markers, marker size, dimension of base plate, minimum distance between points).
* In particular, controlled experiments need to be performed to find out what works well for the Vicon software systems, and what is required of a pattern for tracking to work well.
* Use VICON calibration to actually create a full 36 camera setup, simulate performance of these designs in terms of expected detection accuracy and performance in different areas of the barn.
* To reduce amount of manual work, it would be desirable to automatically produce precise tags (using CNC, laser cutting, 3D printing ...) based on a given pattern design.
