Abstract
A device, method and system for estimating elevation in images from camera devices is provided. The device detects humans at respective positions in images from a camera device, the camera device having a fixed orientation and fixed focal length. The device estimates, for the humans in the images, respective elevations of the humans, relative to the camera device, at the respective positions based at least on camera device parameters defining the fixed orientation and the fixed focal length. The device associates the respective elevations with the respective positions in the images. The device determines, using the respective elevations associated with the respective positions, a function that estimates elevation in an image from the camera device, using a respective image position coordinate as an input. The device provides the function to a video analytics engine to determine relative real-world positions in subsequent images from the camera device.
