Abstract(in English) Accurate camera parameter is regarded as a key factor in generating free viewpoint video with a high quality. Video registration is the most popular method for moving camera calibration, and it is composed of feature points detection and matching, and homography matrix estimation for camera calibration. However, the main problem in video registration-based moving camera calibration is that the calibration accuracy is very low if the detected feature points are from moving objects. In this paper, we propose a robust camera calibration method for moving camera. The proposed method tracks the feature points along several video frames to construct a trajectory matrix of feature points, and the constructed trajectory matrix is decomposed into a low-rank matrix representing global camera motion and a sparse matrix representing local motion. Therefore, according to such decomposition, local motions of dynamic feature points are removed. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves more accurate calibration result in terms of both objective and subjective evaluations.
