This paper presents a new camera calibration algorithm for ill-conditioned cases in which the camera plane is nearly parallel to a set of non-coplanar calibration boards. for the ill-conditioned case, most of existing calibration approaches such as Tsais radial-alignment-constraint method cannot be applied. Recently, for the ill-conditioned coplanar calibration Lee&Lee[16] proposed an iterative algorithm based on the least square method. The non-coplanar calibration algorithm presented in this paper is an iterative two-stage procedure with extends the previous coplanar calibration algorithm. Through the first stage, camera, position and orientation parameters as well as one radial distortion factor are determined optimally for a given data of the scale factor and the focal length. In the second stage, the scale factor and the focal length are locally optimized. This process is repeated until any improvement cannot be expected any more Computational results are provided to show the performance of the algorithm developed.

In this work we present a robust and fast approach to estimate 3D vehicle pose that can provide results under a specific traffic surveillance conditions. Such limitations are expressed by single fixed CCTV camera that is located relatively high above the ground, its pitch axes is parallel to the reference plane and the camera focus assumed to be known. The benefit of our framework that it does not require prior training, camera calibration and does not heavily rely on 3D model shape as most common technics do. Also it deals with a bad shape condition of the objects as we focused on low resolution surveillance scenes. Pose estimation task is presented as PnP problem to solve it we use well known "POSIT" algorithm [1]. In order to use this algorithm at least 4 non coplanar point's correspondence is required. To find such we propose a set of techniques based on model and scene geometry. Our framework can be applied in real time video sequence. Results for estimated vehicle pose are shown in real image scene.
