Subframe-Level Synchronization in Multi-Camera System Using Time-Calibrated Video.

ABSTRACT: Achieving precise synchronization is critical for multi-camera systems in various applications. Traditional methods rely on hardware-triggered synchronization, necessitating significant manual effort to connect and adjust synchronization cables, especially with multiple cameras involved. This not only increases labor costs but also restricts scene layout and incurs high setup expenses. To address these challenges, we propose a novel subframe synchronization technique for multi-camera systems that operates without the need for additional hardware triggers. Our approach leverages a time-calibrated video featuring specific markers and a uniformly moving ball to accurately extract the temporal relationship between local and global time systems across cameras. This allows for the calculation of
