Automatic Estimation of Ship-Mounted Cameras' Orientation by Hand-Eye Calibration.

By developing a method for automatically calibrating the extrinsic parameters of ship-mounted cameras, this paper tests combining Structure from Motion-algorithms with Hand-Eye calibration solvers in a novel algorithm which demonstrates an ability to discern the orientation of cameras with accuracy comparable to- or better than current manual methods, proven through tests with both synthetic and real-world data.
