Abstract
A device for object tracking receives an image from a camera, where the image shows a set of points on a calibration board placed on a platform. The device determines a pixel location array that comprises pixel locations associated with the points in the image. The device determines, by applying a first homography to the pixel location array, a calculated location array identifying calculated physical location coordinates of the set of points in the global plane. The device determines that the difference between a reference location array and the calculated location array is more than a threshold value. In response, the device determines that the camera and/or the platform has moved from a respective initial location when the first homography was determined. The device determines a second homography by multiplying an inverse of the pixel location array by the reference location array and calibrates the camera using the second homography.
