Improved Pose Estimation of Aruco Tags Using a Novel 3D Placement Strategy

This paper extends the topic of monocular pose estimation of an object using Aruco tags imaged by RGB cameras. The accuracy of the Open CV Camera calibration and Aruco pose estimation pipelines is tested in detail by performing standardized tests with multiple Intel Realsense D435 Cameras. Analyzing...
