1. A method for calibrating a projective camera, said method comprising:
- acquiring information by detecting at least one object on a substantially flat ground plane within a field of view;
performing a projective camera calibration;
considering a measurement uncertainty; and
yielding a plurality of camera parameters from the projective camera calibration.

Abstract
A method for calibrating a projective camera is provided. The method includes acquiring information by detecting at least one object on a substantially flat ground plane within a field of view. A projective camera calibration is performed. A measurement uncertainty is considered to yield a plurality of camera parameters from the projective camera calibration.

20. A surveillance system comprising:
-
an object detector configured to process a video stream and report a rectangular foreground region; and
