Uchiya Markers are composed of random dots and work by computing a hashing function based on the relative orientation of neighboring dots. One advantage to these markers is that they are resistant to conclusion. Many of the dots can be covered and the ID and pose of the marker can still be recovered! Square based markers become unrecognizable if the black square is blocked or damaged.

Example Code

/**
 * Random dot markers are exactly what their name implies. Each marker is a set of random dots that the tracker
 * learns to identify using hash codes computed from geometric invariants which describe the relationships between
 * the dots. These markers are based off of Uchiya Markers.
