An integrated method for camera planning and positioning

摘要

The present invention relates to a method, a related system and related devices for calibrating a position of a Camera for monitoring a predetermined area. The camera being coupled to a remote server over a communications link where the remote server is able to receive media corresponding to the predetermined area to be monitored within an environment of the camera. This media is recorded by the camera and forwarded to the remote server over the communications link. The method further comprises the step the remote server forwarding the media corresponding to the predetermined area towards a camera positioning device where the media includes a plurality of real reference markers in the predetermined area. The actual location relative to an image-framing of the camera of each real reference marker of the plurality of real reference markers is recognizing in the media forwarded. Subsequently, camera position calibration instructions are determined based on the difference between a predefined location, relative to an image-framing of the camera, of each screen marker of a plurality of screen markers where the predefined screen markers define the predetermined area to be monitored and the actual location relative to an image-framing of the camera of each corresponding real reference marker of the plurality of real reference markers as determined by a camera positioning device.
