Machine-readable optical labels are visual representations of data that machines can read and interpret. These labels, often composed of simple geometric shapes or lines, are designed to encode various kinds of information, such as product details or reference numbers.

In this course, you’ll be introduced to Python-based reading and writing of 1D and 2D barcodes and fiduciary markers. You’ll then learn the practical applications of barcodes and fiduciary markers in augmented reality and the creation of user interfaces for reading barcodes. Next, you’ll learn about different Python libraries and their usage to process different optical labels.

By the end of the course, you’ll be proficient in using Python for handling barcodes and fiduciary markers. You’ll also have hands-on experience installing and using different Python libraries to manipulate optical labels.

Using Python for Reading and Writing Optical Labels

We can improve the detection of ArUco markers and AprilTags when using Python and OpenCV. This involves adjusting various parameters, preprocessing the images, and incorporating additional techniques. 

Here are some suggestions of what we can do to improve the detection process:



# Adjust detection parameters

OpenCV provides a set of default ArUco marker detection parameters, but we can customize them to improve detection. To create custom parameters, use the following:
```python
detector_params = cv2.aruco.DetectorParameters_create()
```

We can then modify specific parameters. For example:

```python
detector_params.adaptiveThreshConstant = 7  # Default is 7 
detector_params.adaptiveThreshWinSizeStep = 4  # Default is 10 
detector_params.minMarkerPerimeterRate = 0.01  # Default is 0.03 
detector_params.maxMarkerPerimeterRate = 1.0  # Default is 4.0 
detector_params.polygonalApproxAccuracyRate = 0.01  # Default is 0.03
```

These parameters can be adjusted based on our specific application and environment. We can experiment with different values to find the optimal configuration for our use case. We do need to keep in mind that improving detection accuracy might come at the cost of increased processing time and vice versa.
