+Overview
+========
+
+This section explains how to build augmented reality pipelines based on ArUco Markers technology for various use cases.
+
+The OpenCV library provides a module to detect fiducial markers into a picture and estimate their poses (cf [OpenCV ArUco tutorial page](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d5/dae/tutorial_aruco_detection.html)).

+
+The ArGaze [ArUcoMarkers submodule](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarkers) eases markers creation, optic calibration, markers detection and 3D scene pose estimation through a set of high level classes.
+
+First, let's look at the schema below: it gives an overview of the main notions involved in the following chapters.

+To build your own ArUco markers pipeline, you need to know:

+* [How to build an ArUco markers scene](aruco_scene_creation.md),
+* [How to calibrate optic parameters](optic_parameters_calibration.md),
+* [How to deal with an ArUcoCamera instance](aruco_camera_configuration_and_execution.md),
+* [How to add ArScene instance](ar_scene.md),
+* [How to visualize ArCamera and ArScenes](visualisation.md)
