<aside> 📝 Summary

Northstar is 6328’s AprilTag detection software developed in the 2023 build season. The documentation below is for understanding how they use OpenCV and Python to detect AprilTags, rather than for using the software itself, as they don’t have the capacity to handle other teams using it.
