Method of aligning two separated cameras matching points in the view

A system for calibrating multiple camera devices to perform multi-camera tracking of one or more objects, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors configured:
• to identify one or more common calibration points on both of a first image or video stream captured by a first camera device and a second image or video stream captured by a second camera device, each of the one or more common calibration points being in a field of view of the first and second camera devices and lying on a reference plane,
• to determine camera coordinate information for the first camera and the second camera devices from the one or more common calibration points, and
• to evaluate the camera coordinate information to determine alignment parameters, which reflect a geometrical position and orientation of the first camera device and the second camera device relative to the reference plance.

A non-transitory tangible computer medium storing computer executable code, which when executed by one or more processors of at least one computer system, is configured to implement a method of calibrating multiple camera devices to perform multi-camera tracking of one or more objects, the method comprising:

• identifying one or more common calibration points on both of a first image or video stream captured by a first camera device and a second image or video stream captured by a second camera device, each of the one or more common calibration points being in a field of view of the first and second camera devices and lying in a reference plane;
• determining camera coordinate information for the first camera and the second camera devices from the one or more common calibration points;
• and
• evaluating the coordinate information to determine alignment parameters, which reflect a geometric position and orientation of the first camera device and the second camera device relative to the reference plane.
