You can check find more information and try out the live 3D event reconstruction demo at our Project Page.

Also, try out our shooter localization system.

Introduction

We introduce the Video Event Reconstruction and Analysis (VERA) system, enabled by established machine learning techniques and physics models, that can show synchronized videos from social media that capture an event in 3D space.

Installation

You will need to have a running server for the demo to run properly. Put this repo under your server root and open Chrome to http://localhost/VERA_3D_Reconstruction. You cannot just directly open the html file in Chrome according to this.

Code Overview

Currently we have released the source code for the web interface.
