Method for objects tracking using a group of cameras with automatic correction of a projective transformation matrix

Annotation: A description of a method for tracking objects by a group of uncalibrated cameras, allowing to compare the representations of the same object in the images of different cameras in partial overlap is described. The method automatically calibrates the video surveillance system on four points with known coordinates of the object and moving out from the field of view of one camera to field of view of another. The method is based on the correction of the projective transformation matrix, which is calculated at the moment when the object appear in the fields of view of the two cameras. The results of simulation are presented and distance relations of actual and predicted positions to the surface of intersection of camera views are obtained
