calib-targets

Mesh-rectified grid

Fast, robust calibration target detection in Rust: chessboard, ChArUco, ArUco/AprilTag dictionaries, and marker boards.

Highlights

Shared TargetDetection output across detectors for consistent downstream processing.
End-to-end helpers (calib_targets::detect) that run ChESS corner detection for you (feature image, enabled by default).
Low-level detector crates are re-exported when you need custom pipelines.

Quickstart (chessboard)

cargo add calib-targets image

use calib_targets::detect;
use calib_targets::ChessboardParams;
use image::ImageReader;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let img = ImageReader::open("board.png")?.decode()?.to_luma8();
    let chess_cfg = detect::default_chess_config();
    let params = ChessboardParams::default();

    let result = detect::detect_chessboard(&img, &chess_cfg, params);
    println!("detected: {}", result.is_some());
    Ok(())
}

What you get back

All detectors produce a TargetDetection (returned directly for chessboards and embedded in higher-level result structs elsewhere). Each LabeledCorner includes pixel position, optional grid coordinates, optional logical id, optional target-space position, and a detector-specific score.

Supported targets

Chessboard: detect::detect_chessboard or chessboard::ChessboardDetector.
ChArUco: detect::detect_charuco or charuco::CharucoDetector.
Marker boards: detect::detect_marker_board or marker::MarkerBoardDetector.
ArUco/AprilTag dictionaries and decoding via aruco.

Features

image (default): enables calib_targets::detect helpers that use image::GrayImage and chess-corners.
tracing: enables tracing output across the workspace crates.
