CAMERA POSITION DETECTING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a camera position detecting method capable of automatically detecting the positions of a plurality of cameras without the intermediary of human hands. SOLUTION: The camera position detecting method processes a first step for photographing a plurality of cameras by a panoramic camera; a second step for controlling driving mechanisms to make the plurality of cameras operate; a third step for making the panoramic camera photograph the plurality of cameras, after the plurality of cameras are made to operate; a fourth step for processing data for specifying the plurality of cameras in photographed images on the basis of data on difference images acquired, by photographing the cameras before and after the plurality of cameras are made to operate; and a fifth step for processing data for computing the positions of the plurality of cameras, on the basis of images in which a plurality of specified cameras are photographed.
