Hi!
I want to use AprilTags with Reality Capture but came across a few questions I hope you’d be able to answer:

-Is there a way to Detect April tag in the Laser Scan? That would help merging photos and laser scan more easily. Right now if I hit the Detect button it just get the tags from the photos.

-It looks like the april tag are only used as Control Point where I know you can also get the relative position of the tag. Are you planning on using this feature of the AprilTag?
This would make it easier to determine the camera’s position and reduce the need to overlap photos to obtain an accurate 3D representation.

Thank you.
Best,

Hello MaggBunny,
it is not possible to detect the April tags over the LSPs (as in most cases there is a weak resolution)
April tags can be also used as ground control points (with coordinates), but I am not sure if this is what you asked. What do you mean by relative pose of the tags?
