Estimate scene pose
===================

Once [ArUco markers are placed into a scene](aruco_marker_description.md) and the [ArUcoCamera](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera) is [configured](configuration_and_execution.md), the scene pose can be estimated.

## Add ArUcoScene to ArUcoCamera JSON configuration file

An [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) class defines a space with [ArUco markers inside](aruco_marker_description.md), helping to estimate scene pose when they are watched by [ArUcoCamera](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera).

Here is an extract from the JSON [ArUcoCamera](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera) configuration file with a sample where one scene is added and displayed:

```json

                            "translation": [17.5, 2.75, -0.5],
                            "rotation": [-18.5, 0, 0],
                            "size": 5

                    }
                } 
            }
        },
        ...
        "image_parameters": {
            ...
            "draw_scenes": {
                "MyScene": {
                    "draw_aruco_markers_group": {
                        "draw_axes": {
                            "thickness": 3,
                            "length": 10
                        },
                        "draw_places": {
                            "color": [0, 0, 0],
                            "border_size": 1
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
```

Now, let's understand the meaning of each JSON entry.

### *scenes*

An [ArUcoCamera](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera) instance can contain multiples [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) stored by name.

### MyScene

The name of an [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene). Basically, it is useful for visualization purposes.

### *aruco_markers_group*

The 3D placement of ArUco markers into the scene, as defined in the [ArUco marker description chapter](aruco_marker_description.md). Thanks to this description, it is possible to estimate the pose of [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) in an [ArUcoCamera](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera) frame.

!!! note

    [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) pose estimation is done when calling the [ArUcoCamera.watch](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArCamera.watch) method.

### *draw_scenes*

The drawing parameters of each loaded [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) in an [ArUcoCamera.image](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame.image).
