The paper tackles the problem of calibrating a stationary camera’s yaw, pitch, and roll using a drone’s GPS trajectory, which suffers from altitude bias, time offset, and discrete sampling. It formulates a parameter estimation problem that jointly estimates the GPS altitude bias, time offset, and camera orientation biases, and proposes a maximum likelihood estimator based on Iterated Least Squares to handle the asynchronous, discrete GPS data. Simulation results show the estimator achieves accuracy close to the Cramér–Rao Lower Bound, with a recommended drone trajectory yielding calibration errors within 14% of the measurement error standard deviation.
