Hi,
I am searching for a program that is able to find the exact or even close camera
location
(and look_at or direction) of a real video I record with my camera. Then I want to use
these
exported values(txt) in a pov-ray file and render some objects onto the videoimages.
I don't know if there is a program, but I think there could be one, that compares the
images
of the video and find some points/lines to create a location for the camrea in 3d
space.
Thanks,
Benjamin

There are programs to do this - I ran across Rune's description of a few
(he used a free one that is now not free) at http://runevision.com/3d/
anims/hologram.asp#description
The video is quite impressive.

If you are familiar with math you can do it without a program, see for
example this lecture, note that it takes quite a bit of computer vision
jargon for granted:
http://wiki.cis.rit.edu/pub/People/AdvancedDip/camera_calibration_01.pdf
If whatever you want to calibrate is a planar object and you are using
Windows, you can use the following program
http://research.microsoft.com/~zhang/Calib/
I'm pretty sure there are (or there used to be :-( ) other free programs for
camera calibration, just google it.

Hi,
thanks for your awnsers. i found a non-commercial camera tracker and that one seems to
be
very powerfull. you can find it here:
http://www.digilab.uni-hannover.de/docs/manual.html
the program can export the camera settings and points to some formats: 3D Studio Max,
Blender, Lightwave, Maya, and Softimage and txt.
i didn't made a simple converter (to translate the txt into a pov-readable format) yet
but i
think it should be possible to user these numbers in pov-ray.

I was also looking for a camera tracker, but even didn't know, how it's
called.
My only clue was 'photogrammetry' and 'remote sensing'. Based on this, I
found Grass GIS, which -- among _many_ other things -- does
photogrammetry. But I don't think, that it is really suited to the task
of camera tracking in video sequences.
So, many thanks for the hint, it may be very helpful.
Best regards,

Wow!!!!! That's a million times better than any free program I have been
able to find! Thanks for the link.
