A method for determining extrinsic camera parameters includes: starting camera movement, capturing a first raw image with parallel first and second patches at a first point of time, and a second raw image with parallel third and fourth patches at a second point of time. A distance between the first and second patches and between the third and fourth patches is the same. A reference position A of a first patch image feature, a reference position C of a second patch image feature, an offset position B of the feature of the first patch in the third patch, and an offset position D of the feature of the second patch in the fourth patch are detected. An epipolar model is applied based on the positions A-D and a distance travelled by the camera between the first and second time points. Extrinsic camera parameters are determined from the epipolar model.
