Digital Cameras White Papers

Camera Calibration and Structure Recovery from a Single Image

Overview The Vantage Project proposes to deploy many cameras around SRC and to track people as they move from the field of view of one camera to another. It should be possible to use this information to analyse the movements of people and identify individuals.
This tracking (in particular the hand-off between cameras as a person moves between their fields of view) will be easier if we can make inferences about the real location of a person in the world based on that person's position in a camera's image plane. It would also be helpful to know the 3D structure of the scene to guide the tracking and enforce the constraint that the person is walking on the floor, not up the wall.
