Abstract
A camera is oriented at a workspace by comparing a three-dimensional model of the workspace to an image. A user provides an initial estimation of camera location. A feature of the three-dimensional model is projected onto the image. The feature of the three-dimensional model is compared to a corresponding feature in the image. A position and orientation of the camera are calculated by comparing the feature of the three-dimensional model the corresponding feature in the image.
