Summary:Method and system for measuring a relative position and orientation of range cameras using a movement of an object within a scene. In general, the method and system determine the relative pose between two cameras by measuring a path the movement of the object makes within a scene and calculating transformation parameters based on these measurements. These transformation parameters are used to determine the relative position of each camera with respect to a base camera. The system and method include other novel features, such as a data synchronization feature that uses a time offset between cameras to obtain the transformation parameters, and a technique that improves the robustness and accuracy of solving for the transformation parameters, and an interpolation process that interpolates between sampled points if there is no data at a particular instant in time.
