Automatic Reconstruction of Wide-Area Fiducial Marker Models

We present an approach towards automatic reconstruction of large assemblies of fiducial markers scattered throughout a wide indoor area, using a computer vision based reconstruction approach. The data is acquired from a video stream captured with a monoscopic camera. The system is capable of creating markers models that are significantly larger in physical area and number of markers than with previous approaches.
