Patent ID: 11636621

Abstract:
Embodiments facilitate the calibration of cameras in a live action scene using fixed cameras and drones. In some embodiments, a method configures a plurality of reference cameras to observe at least three known reference points located in the live action scene and to observe one or more reference points associated with one or more moving cameras having unconstrained motion. The method further configures the one or more moving cameras to observe one or more moving objects in the live action scene. The method further receives reference point data in association with one or more reference cameras of the plurality of reference cameras, where the reference point data is based on the at least three known reference points and the one or more reference points associated with the one or more moving cameras. The method further computes a location and an orientation of each moving camera of the one or more moving cameras based on one or more of the reference point data and one or more locations of one or more reference cameras of the plurality of reference cameras.
