april_vision
A fiducial marker system used by Student Robotics. Uses april tag markers to provide detection, pose and distance estimation for these markers.
Installation
This library requires OpenCV but the default installation does not install OpenCV. There are a few different versions of OpenCV with different install sizes, to install the default package without OpenCV, run the following command.
pip install april-vision
To install the lightweight headless version OpenCV install the library with the following command.
pip install april-vision[opencv]
If you want to perform some of the more advanced features of the CLI (live view of the camera) you need the full version of OpenCV. The CLI dependecies can be installed with the following command.
pip install april-vision[cli]
Then the full version of OpenCV can then be installed with the following command.
pip install opencv-python>=4.8
All the versions of OpenCV (standard, headless and contrib) clash so you should only have one installed.
Example
from april_vision.examples.camera import setup_cameras
# Markers 0-100 are 80mm in size
tag_sizes = {
range(0, 100): 80
}
# Returns a dict of index and camera
cameras = setup_cameras(tag_sizes)
if len(cameras) == 0:
print("No cameras found")
for serial, cam in cameras.items():
print(cam.model, serial)
print(cam.see())
