Introduction

This project demonstrates a multi-camera system for tracking a moving object (e.g., a ball) in real-time using OpenCV and C++. It includes camera calibration (given), video processing, and 3D point triangulation.

Features

• Camera calibration and parameter loading from JSON files
• Real-time video processing with OpenCV
• Multi-threaded frame processing for efficiency
• Object tracking and speed calculation
• 3D position estimation using triangulation

Installation

To get started, clone this repository and install the required dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/barakooda/multi_camera_setup.git
cd multi_camera_setup

Ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

• OpenCV
• nlohmann/json

Usage

1. Configure Camera Parameters: Place your camera parameter JSON files in the calibration folder.
2. Place Videos: Place your video files in the videos folder.
3. Build the Project: Use CMake to build the project.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

4. Run the Program: Execute the compiled program.

./multi_camera_setup
