ESC: Evolutionary Stitched Camera Calibration in the Wild

arXiv:2404.12694v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This work introduces a novel end-to-end approach for estimating extrinsic parameters of cameras in multi-camera setups on real-life sports fields. We identify the source of significant calibration errors in multi-camera environments and address the limitations of existing calibration methods, particularly the disparity between theoretical models and actual sports field characteristics. We propose the Evolutionary Stitched Camera calibration (ESC) algorithm to bridge this gap. It consists of image segmentation followed by evolutionary optimization of a novel …
