1. A method for camera calibration comprising:
- configuring a calibration target comprising a plurality of calibration reflectors on a test vehicle;
recording a plurality of video frames of said calibration target comprising said plurality of calibration reflectors as they pass through a test scene wherein a position of said calibration target and of each of said calibration reflectors in each frame of said plurality of recorded frames is collected; and
constructing a camera calibration map from said position to calibrate said video camera.

Abstract
A method and system for camera calibration comprises configuring a calibration target comprising calibration reflectors on a test vehicle. Video of a test scene is collected. Next the test vehicle is identified as it enters the test scene and recorded as it passes through the test scene. The position of the calibration target in each frame of the video is determined and the corresponding individual position of each calibration reflector for each frame of the recorded frames is used to construct a camera calibration map to calibrate the video camera.

17. A method for camera calibration comprising:
-
configuring a calibration target comprising a plurality of calibration reflectors on a test vehicle wherein said calibration target is configured to be a grid of calibration reflectors wherein a relative location of each of said plurality of calibration reflectors within said grid is known; collecting video of a test scene with a video camera; identifying said test vehicle as it enters said test scene by applying an automated license plate recognition check for each vehicle that enters said test scene until said test vehicle is identified; recording a plurality of video frames of said calibration target comprising said plurality of calibration reflectors as they pass through said test scene; detecting the position of said calibration target in each frame of said plurality of recorded frames; identifying a corresponding individual position of a centroid of each of said calibration reflectors for each frame of said plurality of recorded frames; and constructing a camera calibration map to calibrate said video camera. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
