Plus tutorial using no special hardware #106

Closed Sunderlandkyl closed 5 years ago

Sunderlandkyl commented 7 years ago

According to a former discussion with Tamas, it would significantly boost the currency of Plus, if we had a tutorial that can be done at home using no special hardware.

A possible approach is a MicronTracker-like home-made tracking system, consisting only of a webcam, and printed markers.

The biggest component we don't have is a (checkerboard) camera calibration algorithm, but there may be an open-source method we can integrate.

This can be done now. Slicer also has camera calibration methods.
