Marker”s” Generator Online Released!
Hi.
I released new ARToolKit Marker Generator.
It makes you create original markers for ARToolKit.
When this marker detects two or more marker, you can save all markers as a zip file, or save single marker as a *.pat file.
caution:You need a webcam to play this contents.
How to use
- Design your original markers and print it.
- open ARToolKit Marker Generator Online Multi.
- Set segments and marker size.
- Point your webcam at the printed markers.
- Push “Get Pattern” button when a red line encloses the markers. and go “save mode”.
- When “save mode” starts, Preview window appears.
- Red squares show all of detected markers.
- Green square shows the marker in the preview now.
- Preview Window has 6 buttons.
- Push “Prev/Next” button to change marker.
- Push “Delete” button to exclude current previewing marker from target.
- Push “Save All” button to save all pattern file “*.zip”.
- Push “Save Current” button to save previewing pattern file “*.pat”.
- Push “Cancel” button or close window to end “save mode”.

Why does the import image one work? I get no option to “get pattern”
cool tks
Thnx!
But, please, add to your code Mac Camera detection supply.
I used this code:
var index:int=0;
for (var i : int = 0; i < Camera.names.length; i++) {
if (Camera.names[i]=="USB Video Class Video") {
index=i;
}
}
this._webcam=Camera.getCamera(String(index));

This looks great, but I’m having no luck yet.
I’ve been trying to make it recognise something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FoafLogo.svg …. eg. by loading a bitmap into an image editor, reducing to 32×32 and 16×16 and printing a high-contrast version. But no success, it doesn’t seem to notice even thick black lines…

I can’t seem to get the upload an image to work either. Any thoughts?
I couldn’t get the image upload to work either until I saw actual dimensions on Mikko Haapoja’s blog. The outer black square needs to be 80mm x 80mm and the inner white area needs to be 40mm x 40mm. After I did that the program recognized it.

Hi, Javier.
Button will be activated when marker was detected.
Thank you.
can i create marker without borders?
Hi, miles.
You can create marker without borders by making the background color of the marker a black.
Thank you.
I also need a marker without borders. I tried it with your proposal, which I hopefully understood:
Made a white square on a black paper, printed Hiro into the white square.
Is not detected by the generator.
In your previous version I could use the “Marker Size” slider to capture only parts of the camera image and that worked perfectly for my purpose. This does not work any more.
Can you do something for me ?
Thnx for your great tool.
Hi Tarotaro, I know this not the place for that, but I need help!
Can you help to make my preloader?
I try with each code in the internet, but only preload the AR swf, and not the dae, nor the texture jpg. What can I do? How you do that? embed the dae and the jpg in one as3 project? or load external file?
my preload code right now is this:
stop();
var mcRequ:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“arxample.swf”);
var mcLoad:Loader = new Loader();
mcLoad.load(mcRequ);
mcLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, onOpen);
mcLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
mcLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onOpen(event:Event):void {
porcentaje.text = “0%”;
}
function onProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var bLoaded = event.bytesLoaded;
var bTotal = event.bytesTotal;
porcentaje.text = Math.round(100*bLoaded/bTotal)+”%”;
mc_cargando.gotoAndStop(Math.round(100*bLoaded/bTotal));
}
function onComplete(event:Event):void {
porcentaje.text = “”;
addChild(mcLoad);
removeChild(mc_cargando);
}
arxample.swf is the AR application, run very well but :(( this not preload the dae or jpg.
Help me tarotaro, you’re my only hope! :DD
Hi guys,

Thank you for your awesome tool, but for some reason the “Get Pattern” option no longer works as an option when you want to upload a file. One of the great points of your tool was the ability to save paper and not print out markers to create glyphs.
I have noticed many other users are commenting on this and your response is:
“Get Pattern” button will become active when you point your webcam at the printed marker.
This is not what we are asking, we are asking why the upload file is not working anymore. I hope this is clear enough.
Thanks for all your hard work!
The Bart is right!
Solution to “get Pattern” option when uploading file (not from camera) is as stated below by Bart. Thanks!

@Opie
Thanks for pointing up :D that did the trick. The dimensions are the key.
Hi, Josh Knell.
Could you show your marker?
I want to test it.
The method of recognizing MGO and FLARToolKit is the same.
MGO looks for the marker only once when the image is read.
The marker whom cannot be recognized at this time might not be able to be recognized with FLARToolKit.
hi all, I am novice into AR and suppose to create and display 3 objects or texts and display them on screen by using webcam and markers, I do not know what to do please. any one out there who might help please. The code already created in here and am suppose to change them into 3D as created in 2D, please help anyone thanks. Costa UK

Hello costa,
You are using artoolkit v2.
I recommend this question to be questioned on the following site.

To state that your program simply ‘rocks’ would be understating fact! Thanks be to God for Augmented Reality– yeah!
PEACE.

Hey there,
thx very much for sharing this.. great tool! Helped me ALOT.
I have an issue with this tho… I’ve got 4 marker designs, each different shapes.
I only use 1 marker design to activate the AR, but when i try other markers… it still activated.
Do you have any idea why it detects all? when it shud just detect specific marker?
pls help!
thanks!
I’ve tried the “Load marker Image” option to no avail. I’ve tried the 80mm outer & 40mm inner marker size to load per Bart’s suggestion also to no avail, which fascinates me since if you’re loading images (jpgs, pngs, etc), who measures them in mm’s? Images are measured in pixels, mm’s only make sense if you consider pixels/cm or pixels/inch–and since that number can vary, you have no idea how many pixels the marker needs to be. For example, 80mm = 227 pixels at 72 pixels/inch AND 945 pixels at 300 pixels/inch.
I also tried 300 pixels x 300 pixels since I see in the code a default of 300 width & height.
ALL TO NO AVAIL. The “Get Pattern” button remains stubbornly DISABLED when using the “Load marker image” option.
Any help in figuring out how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen
Hey!!!
We’re making a project for our master in videogame development in artoolkit, and your marker generator just saved our lives!}
Thank you SO much!
Keep up the good work.
