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

Once [ArUco markers are placed into a scene](aruco_markers_description.md) and [ArUcoCamera](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera) is [configured](configuration_and_execution.md), 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_markers_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
{
    "argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera.ArUcoCamera": {
    	"name": "My FullHD camera",
    	"size": [1920, 1080],
    	...
        "scenes": {
            "MyScene" : {
                "aruco_markers_group": {
                    "dictionary": "DICT_APRILTAG_16h5",
                    "places": {
                        "0": {
                            "translation": [17.5, 2.75, -0.5],
                            "rotation": [-18.5, 0, 0],
                            "size": 5
                        },
                        "1": {
                            "translation": [46, 34, 18.333],
                            "rotation": [0, 70, 0],
                            "size": 5
                        },
                        "2": {
                            "translation": [41, 4, 3.333],
                            "rotation": [-60, 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 contains multiples [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) stored by name.

### MyScene

The name of an [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene). Basically useful for visualization purpose.

### *aruco_markers_group*

The 3D places of ArUco markers into the scene as defined at [ArUco markers description chapter](aruco_markers_description.md). Thanks to this description, it is possible to estimate the pose of [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) in [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 [ArUcoCamera.image](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame.image).
