With which the Framework detects augmented reality markers in a single image

I need to detect augmented reality markers in individual images (or at least video saved to disk, not real time) on OS X in C / C ++, python or MATLAB.

I tried ARToolKit, but it looks like reading video from disk only works with windows:

vid = arVideoOpen( "inputDevice=AVI_FILE,fileName=/Users/jw/Desktop/matlabvideo/example.avi" );

      

        
        
        
      

    

The framework should be specialized for ARMarker detection (for more edge point accuracy), not just simple pattern detection, for example. with openCV.

Does anyone know of alternatives to ARToolKit or how to read videos on OS X using ARToolKit? I already did a deep search without finding any working alternatives.
