$ git clone https://github.com/RIVeR-Lab/apriltags_ros.git

Now you can compile the ROS workspace in order to build the apriltags package and its ROS porting apriltags_ros. To use AprilTag, the following things are needed:

  • Video stream: The video data received via sensor_msgs/Image is elaborated by searching for a list.
  • Camera calibration: The calibration data received via sensor_msgs/CameraInfo, as shown in the ...
