Multi-Camera and Virtual PTZ

We provide the dataset and implementation of our paper Unsupervised Calibration of Camera Networks and Virtual PTZ Cameras.

The dataset contains the video streams and calibrations of four static Axis P1347 cameras and one panoramic video from a spherical Point Grey Ladybug3 camera for two scenarios. The first scenario (outdoor) shows a crowded campus of our university, while the second sequence (indoor) was recorded during the preparations of a European handball training game at a sports hall in Graz. The panoramic imagery can be used to simulate a PTZ camera with the provided implementation of the virtual PTZ (vPTZ) camera.
