This paper presents an approach for online estimation of the extrinsic calibration parameters of a multicamera rig. Given a coarse initial estimate of the parameters, the relative poses between cameras are refined through recursive filtering. The approach is purely vision based and relies on plane induced homographies between successive frames. Overlapping fields of view are not required. Instead, the ground plane serves as a natural reference object. In contrast to other approaches, motion, relative camera poses, and the ground plane are estimated simultaneously using a single iterated extended Kalman filter. This reduces not only the number of parameters but also the computational complexity. Furthermore, an arbitrary number of cameras can be incorporated. Several experiments on synthetic as well as real data were conducted using a setup of four synchronized wide angle fisheye cameras, mounted on a moving platform. Results were obtained, using both, a planar and a general motion model with full six degrees of freedom. Additionally, the effects of uncertain intrinsic parameters and nonplanar ground were evaluated experimentally.
