Enumerations

ArTrackableType

 ArTrackableType

Object types for heterogeneous query/update lists.

Properties
`AR_TRACKABLE_AUGMENTED_IMAGE`	The `ArAugmentedImage` subtype of Trackable.
`AR_TRACKABLE_BASE_TRACKABLE`	The base Trackable type. Can be passed to `ArSession_getAllTrackables` and `ArFrame_getUpdatedTrackables` as the `filter_type` to get all/updated Trackables of all types.
`AR_TRACKABLE_DEPTH_POINT`	On supported devices, trackable type for depth image based hit results returned by `ArFrame_hitTest` when `ArConfig_setDepthMode` has been set to `AR_DEPTH_MODE_AUTOMATIC`.
`AR_TRACKABLE_EARTH`	Trackable type for `ArEarth`.
`AR_TRACKABLE_FACE`	Trackable type for faces.
`AR_TRACKABLE_INSTANT_PLACEMENT_POINT`	Trackable type for results retrieved from `ArFrame_hitTestInstantPlacement`. This trackable type is only available when when `ArConfig_setInstantPlacementMode` is `AR_INSTANT_PLACEMENT_MODE_LOCAL_Y_UP`.
`AR_TRACKABLE_NOT_VALID`	An invalid Trackable type.
`AR_TRACKABLE_PLANE`	The `ArPlane` subtype of Trackable.
`AR_TRACKABLE_POINT`	The `ArPoint` subtype of Trackable.
`AR_TRACKABLE_STREETSCAPE_GEOMETRY`	Trackable type for Streetscape Geometry.

Typedefs

ArTrackable

struct ArTrackable_ ArTrackable

Trackable base type (reference type, long-lived).

ArTrackableList

struct ArTrackableList_ ArTrackableList

A list of ArTrackable's (value type).

Create with: ArTrackableList_create
Release with: ArTrackableList_destroy

Functions

ArTrackableList_acquireItem

void ArTrackableList_acquireItem(
  const ArSession *session,
  const ArTrackableList *trackable_list,
  int32_t index,
  ArTrackable **out_trackable
)

Acquires a reference to an indexed entry in the list.

This call must eventually be matched with a call to ArTrackable_release.

ArTrackableList_create

void ArTrackableList_create(
  const ArSession *session,
  ArTrackableList **out_trackable_list
)

Creates a trackable list object.

ArTrackableList_destroy

void ArTrackableList_destroy(
  ArTrackableList *trackable_list
)

Releases the memory used by a trackable list object, along with all the anchor references it holds.

ArTrackableList_getSize

void ArTrackableList_getSize(
  const ArSession *session,
  const ArTrackableList *trackable_list,
  int32_t *out_size
)

Retrieves the number of trackables in this list.

ArTrackable_acquireNewAnchor

ArStatus ArTrackable_acquireNewAnchor(
  ArSession *session,
  ArTrackable *trackable,
  ArPose *pose,
  ArAnchor **out_anchor
)

Creates an Anchor at the given pose in the world coordinate space, attached to this Trackable, and acquires a reference to it.

The type of Trackable will determine the semantics of attachment and how the Anchor's pose will be updated to maintain this relationship. Note that the relative offset between the pose of multiple Anchors attached to a Trackable may adjust slightly over time as ARCore updates its model of the world.

Details
Returns	`AR_SUCCESS` or any of: `AR_ERROR_NOT_TRACKING` if the trackable's tracking state was not `AR_TRACKING_STATE_TRACKING` `AR_ERROR_SESSION_PAUSED` if the session was paused `AR_ERROR_RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` if too many anchors exist `AR_ERROR_ILLEGAL_STATE` if this trackable doesn't support anchors

ArTrackable_getAnchors

void ArTrackable_getAnchors(
  const ArSession *session,
  const ArTrackable *trackable,
  ArAnchorList *out_anchor_list
)

Gets the set of anchors attached to this trackable.

Details

Parameters

`session`	The ARCore session
`trackable`	The trackable to query the anchors of.
`out_anchor_list`	The list to fill. This list must have already been allocated with `ArAnchorList_create`. If previously used, the list will first be cleared.

ArTrackable_getTrackingState

void ArTrackable_getTrackingState(
  const ArSession *session,
  const ArTrackable *trackable,
  ArTrackingState *out_tracking_state
)

Retrieves the current state of ARCore's knowledge of the pose of this trackable.

Note: Starting in ARCore 1.12, changing the active camera config using ArSession_setCameraConfig may cause the tracking state on certain devices to become permanently AR_TRACKING_STATE_PAUSED. For consistent behavior across all supported devices, release any previously created trackables when setting a new camera config.

ArTrackable_getType

void ArTrackable_getType(
  const ArSession *session,
  const ArTrackable *trackable,
  ArTrackableType *out_trackable_type
)

Retrieves the type of the trackable.

See ArTrackableType for valid types.

ArTrackable_release

void ArTrackable_release(
  ArTrackable *trackable
)

Releases a reference to a trackable.

This does not mean that the trackable will necessarily stop tracking. The same trackable may still be included in from other calls, for example ArSession_getAllTrackables.

This function may safely be called with NULL - it will do nothing.
