Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a method which enables the recordings of cameras that are not equipped with a synchronisation system to be synchronised a posteriori. Using the Direct Linear Transformation technique, this method estimates the phase difference between two cameras by minimising the reconstruction errors of a moving point. Once the phase difference value is known, one of the recordings is chosen as a reference and the second one is synchronised to the first by cubic spline interpolation.
