iMarkers are discreet landmarks for robotics and AR applications, invisible or barely noticeable to the naked eyes when placed in an environment.
iMarkers can be produced to be detected in particular light wavelengths (UV, IR, or visible), enabling easy customization for diverse applications.
iMarkers fabrication is rapid and cost-effective, with detection achievable using affordable, custom-built sensors, ensuring high accessibility.
iMarkers can be detected and recognized using low computation cost and robust computer vision algorithms.
iMarkers offer production flexibility, enabling design and detection across the entire light spectrum. These variants include UV-range (entirely transparent and invisible to the naked eye), IR-range (similarly discreet), and visible-range iMarkers designed to blend with patterned backgrounds or camouflage against similarly colored surfaces.
Due to the versatility of iMarkers, various sensors can be designed and employed to detect and recognize them. So far, three primary solutions are proposed, including “dual-vision,” “dynamic single-vision,” and “static single-vision.” You can see some implemented setups below.
Regarding various sensors and iMarker types, different algorithms are proposed to detect and recognize iMarkers. These algorithms are designed to be fast, robust, and computationally efficient, ensuring real-time performance. Below, you can see some of the implemented algorithms for different iMarker types and sensor setups.
