Sets the dictionary to be employed. You can choose:ARUCO,//original aruco dictionary. By default ARUCO_MIP_25h7, ARUCO_MIP_16h3, ARUCO_MIP_36h12, **** recommended ARTAG,// ARTOOLKITPLUS, ARTOOLKITPLUSBCH,// TAG16h5,TAG25h7,TAG25h9,TAG36h11,TAG36h10//APRIL TAGS DICIONARIES

void aruco::MarkerDetector::setDictionary	(	Dictionary::DICT_TYPES	dict_type,

	)

setDictionary Specifies the dictionary you want to use for marker decoding

Parameters

dict_type dictionary employed for decoding markers

See also: Dictionary

Parameters

error_correction_rate value indicating the correction error allowed. Is in range [0,1]. 0 means no correction at all. So an erroneous bit will result in discarding the marker. 1, mean full correction. The maximum number of bits that can be corrected depends on each ditionary. We recommend using values from 0 to 0.5. (in general, this will allow up to 3 bits or correction).
