ABSTRACT:
A camera of a camera-based image processing system is calibrated using a graphical user interface (GUI) of the system. A representation of an area in which the camera is to be operated is presented via the GUI, and calibration information is obtained for each of a set of one or more calibration points sequentially as the camera is pointed to corresponding positions in the area. For each of the one or more calibration points, the calibration information is obtained after a command is entered identifying a corresponding position of the calibration point within the representation of the area as presented via the GUI. An external calibration including camera position and orientation is then computed for the camera based on the calibration information obtained for the one or more calibration points.
