scikit-surgeryarucotracker

Author: Stephen Thompson

scikit-surgeryarucotracker provides a simple Python interface between OpenCV's ARuCo marker tracking libraries and other Python packages designed around scikit-surgerytrackers. It allows you to treat an object tracked using ARuCo markers in the same way as an object tracked using other tracking hardware (e.g. aruco - scikit-surgerynditracker).

scikit-surgeryarucotracker is part of the SciKit-Surgery software project, developed at the Wellcome EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences, part of University College London (UCL).

scikit-surgeryarucotracker is tested with Python 3.6 and may support other Python versions.

Installing

pip install scikit-surgeryarucotracker

Using

Configuration is done using Python libraries. Tracking data is returned in NumPy arrays.

from sksurgeryarucotracker.arucotracker import ArUcoTracker
config = {
    "video source" : 0
        }
tracker = ArUcoTracker(config)

tracker.start_tracking()
print(tracker.get_frame())
tracker.stop_tracking()
tracker.close()
