Automatic Calibration Method for Fixed Camera Person Tracking Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Jones [1] recently presented a novel calibration procedure that uses a linearized model of the projection of the height of a person to recover the image-plane to local-ground-plane transformation with minimum expert intervention. In this paper we present an addition to the work of Jones [1], by further reducing the measurements needed to be made manually to define the image-plane to ground-plane homography. We also do an analysis of the sensitivity of the recovered transformation to errors in measurements and noise, and point out how to use the method to achieve best calibration results.

Single camera closed-form real-time needle trajectory tracking for ultrasound
In ultrasound-guided needle insertion procedures, tracking of the needle relative to the ultrasound image is beneficial for needle trajectory planning and guidance. A single camera closed-form method is proposed for automatic real-time trajectory tracking with a low-cost camera mounted directly on the ultrasound transducer. The camera is calibrated to the ultrasound image coordinates. By mounti...
متن کاملReal Time Automatic Object Tracking by Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras in an IP-Surveillance System
Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are one of the advanced security cameras in the market. These cameras have the ability to cover a very far field and can acquire high resolution of images. These cameras are deployed mainly for perimeter surveillance applications where the security guards have to monitor the intruders from a long distance. Although there are intrinsic advantages of using pan-tilt-zoo...
متن کاملPlug and Play: Fast Automatic Geometry and Color Calibration for Cameras Tracking Robots
We have developed an automatic calibration method for a global camera system. Firstly, we show how to define automatically the color maps we use for tracking the robots’ markers. The color maps store the parameters of each important color in a grid superimposed virtually on the field. Secondly, we show that the geometric distortion of the camera can be computed automatically by finding white li...
متن کاملObject Occlusion Detection Using Automatic Camera Calibration for a Wide-Area Video Surveillance System
This paper presents an object occlusion detection algorithm using object depth information that is estimated by automatic camera calibration. The object occlusion problem is a major factor to degrade the performance of object tracking and recognition. To detect an object occlusion, the proposed algorithm consists of three steps: (i) automatic camera calibration using both moving objects and a b...
متن کاملMobile Robotics Technique for 3 D Environment Reconstruction
Mobile robotics can be successfully applied for 3D environment exploration and reconstruction. Here, a vehicle tracking system is described based on combining laser and camera information aiming at building maps of unstructured environments. The proposed system integrates a ground-fixed CCD camera with a phase-shifting laser to follow the vehicle moving across the environment. The method compri...
