Unsupervised Camera Localization in Crowded Spaces

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Existing camera networks in public spaces such as train terminals or malls can help social robots to navigate crowded scenes. However, the localization of the cameras is required, i.e., the positions and poses of all cameras in a unique reference. In this ...
