Camera position recognition system

Abstract

A camera position recognition system includes: multiple cameras removably placed at different positions to be able to photograph a subject from different viewpoints along a horizontal direction; a host device to assign camera identification information to each camera, the camera identification information representing a relative position of each camera; and a marker member placed at a position of the subject and to be photographed by the cameras. The marker member presents different shapes in images photographed by the cameras depending on the position of each camera. The host device acquires the images of the marker member photographed by the cameras and determines the camera identification information based on differences between the shapes of the marker member captured in the images.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
