In this paper, we introduce optimal markers to be used with the SIFT and SURF feature detectors. They can be applied to trigger the detection of feature points at desired locations. Unlike conventional marker systems, we do not propose a standalone solution comprising a set of markers and a thereto adapted detection algorithm. Instead, our markers are adapted to existing and established detectors. In particular, we introduce markers optimally suited for SIFT and SURF. We derive the optimal design and show their high detectability within a wide range of different imaging conditions in experiments on both synthetic and real data. 1
