Abstract
A method and system for determining a position of a camera is disclosed. The method and system includes determining and registering geographical coordinates of a mobile device in the mobile device itself, presenting on a display of the mobile device a pattern representing the geographical coordinates of the mobile device, capturing by the camera an image of the display of the mobile device when presenting the geographical coordinates, translating in the camera the pattern in the captured image of the display of the mobile device into geographical coordinates, and determining in the camera the position of the camera based on the geographical coordinates translated from the pattern in the captured image.
