Abstract
Camera calibration is one of the basic problems concerning intelligent video analysis in networks of multiple cameras with changeable pan and tilt (PT). Traditional calibration methods give satisfactory results, but are human labour intensive. In this paper we introduce a method of camera calibration and navigation based on continuous tracking, which requires minimal human involvement. After the initial pre-calibration, it allows the camera pose to be calculated recursively in real time on the basis of the current and previous camera images and the previous pose. The method is suitable if multiple coplanar points are shared between views from neighbouring cameras, which is often the case in the video surveillance systems.
