Abstract
Methods and systems for automatically synchronizing videos acquired via two or more cameras with overlapping views in a multi-camera network. Reference lines within an overlapping field of view of the two (or more) cameras in the multi-camera network can be determined wherein the reference lines connect two or more pairs of corresponding points. Spatiotemporal maps of the reference lines can then be obtained. An optimal alignment between video segments obtained from the cameras is then determined based on the registration of the spatiotemporal maps.
