Characterization of augmented reality markers for use in robotics Authors Carlos Alberto Valencia Hernández1 Instituto tecnológico Pascual Bravo Alejandro Restrepo Martínez Universidad nacional de Colombia Nelson David Muñoz Ceballos Politécnico Colombiano Jaime Isaza Cadavid DOI: https://doi.org/10.33571/rpolitec.v13n25a7 Keywords: Computer vision, Augmented reality, Markers, Robotics, Mobile Robot Abstract In spite of the wide variety of studies and researches about augmented reality applied in robotic systems, in general terms there are not analysis around how affects the detection of markers: illumination, distances, or angles of incidence of the robot´s camera, underestimating the importance of these parameters in the representation of augmented objects, it difficult to do an objective performance comparison of the augmented reality applications in robots. This paper describes a procedure in order to analysis a set of standard augmented reality markers taking into account distances, detection angles, illumination, and the effect of marker size on the scale of augmented objects, in a way that helps the reader to determine what effect they have on the system performance, and proposing a series of recommendations from the results of technical tests in order to maintain optimal detection of markers for in-door environments.
