Abstract:
A camera at a fixed vertical height positioned above a reference plane, with an axis of a camera lens at an acute angle with respect to a perpendicular of the reference plane. One or more processors receive images of different people. The vertical measurement values of the images of different people are determined. The one or more processors determine a first statistical measure associated with a statistical distribution of the vertical measurement values. The known heights of people from a known statistical distribution of heights of people are transformed to normalized measurements, based in part on a focal length of the camera lens, the angle of the camera, and a division operator in an objective function of differences between the normalized measurements and the vertical measurement values. The fixed vertical height of the camera is determined, based at least on minimizing the objective function.
