The document discusses a proposed method for detecting and estimating the position and orientation of deformed AR markers using machine learning. Specifically, it uses SSD to detect AR markers in images and an augmented autoencoder (AAE) to remove deformation from markers and estimate orientation based on latent variables obtained during this process. The method was evaluated on its ability to detect markers at different distances and degrees of deformation, showing improved performance over existing methods. Estimated orientation accuracy was within 2-3 degrees on average.
