Aplicación JAVA para la obtención de la posición de la cámara a partir de una o dos fotografías

Abstract

This is a project created for VirtualAD, a private company whose works on advertisement services in the sport fields like a Basketball or Volleyball courts. The services include advertisements on the floor that, thanks to new image processing techniques, achieves a three-dimensional effect when viewed from the position where the camera is placed for the broadcasting. Among others, the data needed for the image processing are the coordinates of the television camera. To obtain them they used to do it by hand. The aim of this project is to save that trouble getting the coordinates from pictures taken from the same place where the camera is located. Finally, we managed to obtain the coordinates with a single image and the previous calibration of the camera or with two images and no calibration step.
