Getting the error "Object Null reference error" while initializing the markers in the step 9 var marker = Marker.LoadFromResource("Marker_SLAR_16x16segments_80width.pat", 16, 16, 80); Any help could be highly appreciated. Thanks, JP

Description

SLARToolkit is a flexible Augmented Reality library for Silverlight and Windows Phone with the aim to make real time Augmented Reality applications with Silverlight as easy and fast as possible. It can be used with Silverlight's Webcam API or with any other CaptureSource, WriteableBitmap or with the Windows Phone's PhotoCamera. SLARTookit is based on the established NyARToolkit and ARToolkit. SLARToolkit uses a dual license model and could be used for open or closed source applications under certain conditions. See the License page for details.

Features

Direct Support for Silverlight's CaptureSource
Support for Windows Phone's Photo Camera class
Built-in support for Silverlight 5's hardware accelerated 3D API
Flexible through a generic and a WriteableBitmap detector
Multiple marker detection
Simple black square markers
Custom markers
Real time performance
Easy to use
Documentation including a step by step Beginner's Guide
Based on established algorithms and techniques
Uses the Matrix3DEx library

Live samples and videos

There are four samples available; one uses Silverlight's 3D projection capabilities, another one SL5's 3D rendering, the other the 3D game engine Balder and there's a Windows Phone sample. The samples are part of the source code repository, but not included in the binary release.
A webcam and at least the Silverlight 4 runtime must be installed to run the samples. It's available for Windows and Mac. Alternatively there are also videos of the samples in action linked below.
The SLAR and / or L marker should be printed non-scaled at the original size (80 x 80 mm) and centered for a small white border. As an alternative it's also possible to open a marker file on a mobile device and to use the device's screen as marker. See the Markers documentation for details. Then hold the printed marker in front of the camera and move it around. Make sure the camera is set up properly and the scene is illuminated well without hard shadows.

Easy to use

// Load marker and initialize detector with the a CaptureSource instance
var markerSlar = Marker.LoadFromResource("data/Marker_SLAR_16x16segments_80width.pat", 16, 16, 80.0);
ArDetector = new CaptureSourceMarkerDetector(captureSource, 1, 4000, new List<Marker>{ markerSlar });

// Detection event
ArDetector.MarkersDetected += (s, e) =>
{
   var detectedResults = e.DetectionResults;
}

Live samples and videos

There are two samples available; one uses Silverlight's 3D projection capabilities and the other the 3D game engine Balder. The samples are part of the source code repository, but not included in the binary release.
A webcam and at least the Silverlight 4 runtime must be installed to run the samples. It's available for Windows and Mac. Alternatively there are also videos of the samples in action linked below.
The SLAR and / or L marker should be printed non-scaled at the original size (80 x 80 mm) and centered for a small white border. As an alternative it's also possible to open a marker file on a mobile device and to use the device's screen as marker. See the Markers documentation for details. Then hold the printed marker in front of the camera and move it around. Make sure the camera is set up properly and the scene is illuminated well without hard shadows.

Silverlight Projection Sample
Open the sample and press the "Start Fun" Button or watch the video.
See this blog post for details.

Balder Sample
