It connects to cameras via RTSP, detects and decodes AprilTag markers on storage boxes, and publishes tag ID and coordinate data to MQTT. The project is functional at the detection layer but lacks a frontend UI and database backend. The author is seeking frontend contributors and also welcomes suggestions for naming, branding, and logo design. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How can I use AprilTag markers with RTSP cameras to publish detection data to MQTT? StorageTags connects to cameras over RTSP, skips frames to reduce detection framerate, decodes AprilTag markers, and publishes the resulting tag ID and coordinate data to MQTT. This pipeline covers the core detection layer — getting tag data from one or more cameras into MQTT — without requiring any additional frontend or database infrastructure to start using the data. _Developers building similar marker-detection pipelines track projects like StorageTags on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [TagTinker Lets You Hack Electronic Shelf Labels](https://daily.dev/posts/tagtinker-lets-you-hack-electronic-shelf-labels-h35zuts78) · Hackaday · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Startup helps retailers track their products in real-time](https://daily.dev/posts/startup-helps-retailers-track-their-products-in-real-time-ppff63lsl) · MIT News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Introducing storagesdk.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-storagesdk-dev-4nzrhwoq5) · Tigris · 92 upvotes · 7 comments - [GitHub - i12bp8/TagTinker: Flipper Zero app for ESL research using IR.
