Describe 3D AOI

Now that the scene pose is estimated considering the ArUco markers description, areas of interest (AOI) need to be described into the same 3D referential.

In the example scene, the two screens—the control panel and the window—are considered to be areas of interest.

All AOI need to be described from the same origin as markers on a right-handed 3D axis, where:

• +X is pointing to the right,
• +Y is pointing to the top,
• +Z is pointing backward.

Edit OBJ file description

OBJ file format could be exported from most 3D editors.

Here are some common OBJ file features needed to describe AOI:

• Object line (starting with the o key) indicates AOI name.
• Vertice line (starting with the v key) indicates AOI vertices.
• Face line (starting with the f key) links vertices together.

Edit JSON file description

The JSON file format allows for the description of AOI vertices.
