This package has been originally built upon apriltags_ros package. I modified the ROS wrapper to work with the latest apriltags library (which is 2016-12-01 at this time) in its original language (C). See the paper: AprilTag 2: Efficient and robust fiducial detection, IROS 2016.
Some of functions of ROS wrapper are borrowed from AprilTags C++ Library.

catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ReleaseYou need to calibrate your camera before use. A monocular camera would be sufficient for using this package.
The package was tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with ROS Kinetic as well as Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS Indigo.
