Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and computer readable media for calibration of one or more extrinsic image sensor parameters. A system may calibrate a multi-camera surround view system, for example as may be employed in a vehicle, based on image data comprising one or more ground plane landmarks. The system may determine a ground plane projection of the image data, for example through a Radon transformation. A signal associated with at least one of the one or more ground plane landmarks in the ground plane projection(s) may be determined, for example through application of the projection-slice theorem. The landmark signal may be utilized as a response in an automated calibration loop to optimize one or more extrinsic parameter values associated with the sensors.
