Automatic Camera Localization

Estimation of camera location via analysis of observed trajectories and geographic maps. 

Where, in this town...                                                                                                

 

... is this camera placed? Is it possible to estimate it?           

- NO GPS readimng available

- Static visual cues are not practical!! 

  

Proposal:          

- Observe the moving objects in the scene.

- Model the expected trajectories for objects from a map of the passable regions of the scene.

- Apply Bayesian estimation to determine:

1. Whether there are multiple placements compatible with the observations performanced by the camera.

2. The location of the camera in the town (map).
