Unveiling the Potential of iMarkers: Invisible Fiducial Markers for Advanced Robotics

ArXi:2501.15505v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Fiducial markers are widely used in robotics for navigation, object recognition, and scene understanding. While offering significant advantages for robots and Augmented Reality (AR) applications, they often disrupt the visual aesthetics of environments, as they are visible to humans, making them unsuitable for many everyday use cases. To address this gap, this paper presents iMarkers, innovative, unobtrusive fiducial markers detectable exclusively by robots and AR devices equipped with adequate sensors and detection algorithms.
