ARToolKit.js

Emscripten port of ARToolKit to JavaScript.

Project Structure

  • build/ (compiled debug and minified versions of ARToolKit.js)
  • doc/ (documentation, coming...)
  • emscripten/ (source code for ARToolKit.js)
  • examples/ (demos and examples using ARToolKit.js)
  • js/ (compiled versions of ARToolKit.js with Three.js helper api)
  • tools/ (build scripts for building ARToolKit.js)

Build Instructions

  1. Install build tools

  2. Install node.js (https://nodejs.org/en/)

  3. Install python2 (https://www.python.org/downloads/)

  4. Install emscripten (http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/getting_started/downloads.html#download-and-install)

  5. Clone ARToolKit5 project to get the latest source files. From within jsartoolkit5 directory do git submodule update --init. If you already cloned ARToolKit5 to a different directory you can:

  • create a link in the jsartoolkit5/emscripten/ directory that points to ARToolKit5 (jsartoolkit5/emscripten/artoolkit5)
  • or, set the ARTOOLKIT5_ROOT environment variable to point to your ARToolKit5 clone
  • or, change the tools/makem.js file to point to your artoolkit5 clone (line 62, 83, 107, 140)
  1. Building
  2. Make sure EMSCRIPTEN env variable is set (e.g. EMSCRIPTEN=/usr/lib/emsdk_portable/emscripten/master/ node tools/makem.js
  3. Rename the ARTOOLKIT5_ROOT/include/AR/config.h.in file to config.h
  4. Run node run build

During development, you can run node run watch, it will rebuild the library everytime you change ./js/ directory.

  1. The built ASM.js files are in /build. There's a build with debug symbols in artoolkit.debug.js and the optimized build with bundled JS API in artoolkit.min.js.

ARToolKit JS API

<script async src="build/artoolkit.min.js">
// include optimized ASM.js build and JS API
</script>

ARToolKit JS debug build

<script src="build/artoolkit.debug.js">
// - include debug build
</script>
<script src="js/artoolkit.api.js">
// - include JS API
</script>

ARToolKit Three.js helper API

<script async src="build/artoolkit.min.js">
// - include optimized ASM.js build and JS API
</script>
<script async src="three.min.js">
// - include Three.js
</script>
<script async src="js/artoolkit.three.js">
// - include Three.js helper API
</script>
<script>
window.ARThreeOnLoad = function () {
console.log("Three.js helper API loaded");
};
if (window.ARController && window.ARController.getUserMediaThreeScene) {
ARThreeOnLoad();
}
</script>

Examples

See examples/ for examples on using the raw API and the Three.js helper API.

The basic operation goes like this:

  1. Load a ARCameraParam object
  2. Create a ARController object
  3. Set pattern detection mode
  4. Load pattern markers or multimarkers if needed
  5. Add a 'getMarker' event listener
  6. Call ARController.process(img)
<script src="build/artoolkit.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var param = new ARCameraParam();

  param.onload = function () {
    var img = document.getElementById('my-image');
    var ar = new ARController(img.width, img.height, param);

    // Set pattern detection mode to detect both pattern markers and barcode markers.
    // This is more error-prone than detecting only pattern markers (default) or only barcode markers.
    //
    // For barcode markers, use artoolkit.AR_MATRIX_CODE_DETECTION
    // For pattern markers, use artoolkit.AR_TEMPLATE_MATCHING_COLOR
    //
    ar.setPatternDetectionMode(artoolkit.AR_TEMPLATE_MATCHING_COLOR_AND_MATRIX);
    
    ar.addEventListener('markerNum', function (ev) {
      console.log('got markers', markerNum);
    });
    ar.addEventListener('getMarker', function (ev) {
      console.log('found marker?', ev);
    });
    ar.loadMarker('Data/patt.hiro', function (marker) {
      console.log('loaded marker', marker);
      ar.process(img);
    });
};

  param.src = 'Data/camera_para.dat';
</script>

Public

the calls your JS apps needs

  • artoolkit.init(path, camera_param_path) - load path for artoolkit emscripten files
  • artoolkit.onReady(callback) - runs callback when artoolkit has completely downloaded, initalized and ready to run
  • artoolkit.setup(width, height); - initalize a buffer size for a canvas of width & height
  • artoolkit.process(canvas); - extracts a frame from a canvas and process it
  • artoolkit.debugSetup() - enables debugging, adds a threshold image to the dom
  • artoolkit.getDetectedMarkers() - returns an array of detected markers from last detection process
  • artoolkit.getCameraMatrix() - returns the projection matrix computed from camera parameters
  • artoolkit.getTransformationMatrix() - returns the 16-element WebGL transformation matrix

Internals

calls called from emscripten runtime -> artoolkit.js

  • artoolkit.onFrameMalloc(object) - gets called when frame buffer gets allocated for canvas
  • artoolkit.onMarkerNum(number) - gets called with the numbers of markers detected
  • artoolkit.onGetMarker(object, index) - gets called with the marker struct for the positioned marker

calls available from js -> emscripten

  • _setup(width, height)
  • _setThreshold(int) - 0 to 255
  • _process()
  • _setDebugMode(boolean)
  • _addMarker(string)
  • setThreshold
  • setThresholdMode() eg. `Module.setThresholdMode(Module.AR_LABELING_THRESH_MODE_AUTO_MEDIAN / AR_LABELING_THRESH_MODE_AUTO_OTSU );
  • setLabelingMode
  • setPatternDetectionMode
  • setMatrixCodeType() : Eg. Module.setMatrixCodeType(Module.AR_MATRIX_CODE_3x3);
  • setImageProcMode
  • setPattRatio

Examples

artoolkit.init('', 'camera_para.dat').onReady(function() {
artoolkit.setProjectionNearPlane(1);
artoolkit.setProjectionFarPlane(1000);
artoolkit.setPatternDetectionMode(artoolkit.CONSTANTS.AR_MATRIX_CODE_DETECTION);
artoolkit.setMatrixCodeType(artoolkit.CONSTANTS.AR_MATRIX_CODE_4x4);
})

artoolkit.init('', 'camera_para.dat').onReady(function() {
artoolkit.addMarker('../bin/Data/patt.hiro', function(marker) {
artoolkit.process(v);
})
})
