Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a robust method for optical recognition of markers in an outdoor environment. In this context, the present invention provides a method for optical recognition of optical markers comprising the steps of: acquiring an image; identifying regions of contiguous colours in the image by flood filling; extracting data and parameters of the contiguous regions; and detecting an optical marker by means of a convex hull algorithm and prediction of position of squares based on the data and parameters extracted from the contiguous Thus, the method of the present invention allows identification of markers, such as chequerboards and targets, unequivocally and with enough robustness as regards partial occlusions and variations of illumination.
