+Improve ArUco markers detection
+===============================
+
+As explain in [OpenCV ArUco documentation](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d1/dcd/structcv_1_1aruco_1_1DetectorParameters.html), ArUco markers detection is highly configurable.
+
+## Load ArUcoDetector parameters
+
+[ArUcoCamera.detector.parameters](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoDetector.Parameters) can be loaded thanks to a dedicated JSON entry.
+
+Here is an extract from the JSON [ArUcoCamera](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoCamera) configuration file with ArUco detector parameters:
+
+```json
+{
+ "name": "My FullHD camera",
+ "size": [1920, 1080],
+ "aruco_detector": {
+ "dictionary": "DICT_APRILTAG_16h5",
+ "parameters": {
+ "adaptiveThreshConstant": 10,
+ "useAruco3Detection": 1
+ }
+ },
+ ...
+```
+
+## Print ArUcoDetector parameters
+
+```python
+# Assuming ArUcoCamera is loaded
+...
+
+# Print all ArUcoDetector parameters
+print(aruco_camera.aruco_detector.parameters)
+
+# Print only modified ArUcoDetector parameters
+print(f'{aruco_camera.aruco_detector.parameters:modified}')
+```

+Calibrate optic parameters
+==========================
+
+A camera device have to be calibrated to compensate its optical distorsion.
+
+![Optic parameters calibration](../../../img/optic_calibration.png)
+
+## Print calibration board
+
+The first step to calibrate a camera is to create an [ArUcoBoard](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoBoard) like in the code below:
+
+```python
+from argaze.ArUcoMarkers import ArUcoMarkersDictionary, ArUcoBoard
+
+# Create ArUco dictionary
+aruco_dictionary = ArUcoMarkersDictionary.ArUcoMarkersDictionary('DICT_APRILTAG_16h5')
+
+# Create an ArUco board of 7 columns and 5 rows with 5 cm squares with 3cm ArUco markers inside
+aruco_board = ArUcoBoard.ArUcoBoard(7, 5, 5, 3, aruco_dictionary)
+
+# Export ArUco board with 300 dpi resolution
+aruco_board.save('./calibration_board.png', 300)
+```
+
+!!! note
+ There is **A3_DICT_APRILTAG_16h5_3cm_35cmx25cm.pdf** file located in *./src/argaze/ArUcoMarkers/utils/* folder ready to be printed on A3 paper sheet.
+
+Let's print the calibration board before to go further.
+
+## Capture board pictures
+
+Then, the calibration process needs to make many different captures of an [ArUcoBoard](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoBoard) through the camera and then, pass them to an [ArUcoDetector](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoDetector.ArUcoDetector) instance to detect board corners and store them as calibration data into an [ArUcoOpticCalibrator](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoOpticCalibrator) for final calibration process.
+
+![Calibration step](../../../img/optic_calibration_step.png)
+
+The sample of code below illustrates how to:
+
+* load all required ArGaze objects,
+* detect board corners into a Full HD camera video stream,
+* store detected corners as calibration data then,
+* once enough captures are made, process them to find optic parameters and,
+* finally, save optic parameters into a JSON file.
+
+```python
+from argaze.ArUcoMarkers import ArUcoMarkersDictionary, ArUcoOpticCalibrator, ArUcoBoard, ArUcoDetector
+
+# Create ArUco dictionary
+aruco_dictionary = ArUcoMarkersDictionary.ArUcoMarkersDictionary('DICT_APRILTAG_16h5')
+
+# Create ArUco optic calibrator
+aruco_optic_calibrator = ArUcoOpticCalibrator.ArUcoOpticCalibrator()
+
+# Create ArUco board of 7 columns and 5 rows with 5 cm squares with 3cm aruco markers inside
+# Note: This board is the one expected during further board tracking
+expected_aruco_board = ArUcoBoard.ArUcoBoard(7, 5, 5, 3, aruco_dictionary)
+
+# Create ArUco detector
+aruco_detector = ArUcoDetector.ArUcoDetector(dictionary=aruco_dictionary)
+
+# Assuming that live Full HD (1920x1080) video stream is enabled
+...
+
+# Assuming there is a way to escape the while loop
+...
+
+ while video_stream.is_alive():
+
+ # Capture image from video stream
+ image = video_stream.read()
+
+ # Detect all board corners in image
+ aruco_detector.detect_board(image, expected_aruco_board, expected_aruco_board.markers_number)
+
+ # If all board corners are detected
+ if aruco_detector.board_corners_number() == expected_aruco_board.corners_number:
+
+ # Draw board corners to show that board tracking succeeded
+ aruco_detector.draw_board(image)
+
+ # Append tracked board data for further calibration processing
+ aruco_optic_calibrator.store_calibration_data(aruco_detector.board_corners(), aruco_detector.board_corners_identifier())
+
+# Start optic calibration processing for Full HD image resolution
+print('Calibrating optic...')
+optic_parameters = aruco_optic_calibrator.calibrate(expected_aruco_board, dimensions=(1920, 1080))
+
+if optic_parameters:
+
+ # Export optic parameters
+ optic_parameters.to_json('./optic_parameters.json')
+
+ print('Calibration succeeded: optic_parameters.json file exported.')
+
+else:
+
+ print('Calibration failed.')
+```
+
+Below, an optic_parameters JSON file example:
+
+```json

+Script the pipeline
+===================
+
+All aruco markers pipeline objects are accessible from Python script.
+This could be particularly useful for realtime AR interaction applications.
+
+## Load ArUcoCamera configuration from dictionary
+
+First of all, [ArUcoCamera](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoCamera) configuration can be loaded from a python dictionary.
+
+```python
+from argaze.ArUcoMarkers import ArUcoCamera
+
+# Edit a dict with ArUcoCamera configuration
+configuration = {
+ "name": "My FullHD camera",
+ "size": (1920, 1080),
+ ...
+ "aruco_detector": {
+ ...
+ },
+ "scenes": {
+ "MyScene" : {
+ "aruco_markers_group": {
+ ...
+ },
+ "layers": {
+ "MyLayer": {
+ "aoi_scene": {
+ ...
+ }
+ },
+ ...
+ }
+ },
+ ...
+ }
+ "layers": {
+ "MyLayer": {
+ ...
+ },
+ ...
+ },
+ "image_parameters": {
+ ...
+ }
+}
+
+# Load ArUcoCamera
+aruco_camera = ArUcoCamera.ArUcoCamera.from_dict(configuration)
+
+# Do something with ArUcoCamera
+...
+```
+
+## Access to ArUcoCamera and ArScenes attributes
+
+Then, once the configuration is loaded, it is possible to access to its attributes: [read ArUcoCamera code reference](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoCamera) to get a complete list of what is available.
+
+Thus, the [ArUcoCamera.scenes](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArCamera) attribute allows to access each loaded aruco scene and so, access to their attributes: [read ArUcoScene code reference](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoScene) to get a complete list of what is available.
+
+```python
+from argaze import ArFeatures
+
+# Assuming the ArUcoCamera is loaded
+...
+
+# Iterate over each ArUcoCamera scene
+for name, aruco_scene in aruco_camera.scenes.items():
+ ...
+```
+
+## Pipeline execution outputs
+
+[ArUcoCamera.watch](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArCamera.watch) method returns data about pipeline execution.
+
+```python
+# Assuming that timestamped images are available
+...:
+
+ try:
+
+ # Watch image with ArUco camera
+ aruco_camera.watch(image, timestamp=timestamp)
+
+ # Do something with pipeline exception
+ except Exception as e:
+
+ ...
+
+ # Do something with detected_markers
+ ... aruco_camera.aruco_detector.detected_markers()
+
+```
+
+Let's understand the meaning of each returned data.
+
+### *aruco_camera.aruco_detector.detected_markers()*
+
+A dictionary containing all detected markers provided by [ArUcoDetector](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoDetector) class.
+
+## Setup ArUcoCamera image parameters
+
+Specific [ArUcoCamera.image](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame.image) method parameters can be configured thanks to a Python dictionary.
+
+```python
+# Assuming ArUcoCamera is loaded
+...
+
+# Edit a dict with ArUcoCamera image parameters
+image_parameters = {
+ "draw_detected_markers": {
+ ...
+ },
+ "draw_scenes": {
+ ...
+ },
+ "draw_optic_parameters_grid": {
+ ...
+ },
+ ...
+}
+
+# Pass image parameters to ArUcoCamera
+aruco_camera_image = aruco_camera.image(**image_parameters)
+
+# Do something with ArUcoCamera image
+...
+```
+
+!!! note
+ [ArUcoCamera](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers.ArUcoCamera) inherits from [ArFrame](../../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame) and so, benefits from all image parameters described in [gaze analysis pipeline visualisation section](../../gaze_analysis_pipeline/visualisation.md). \ No newline at end of file
