I’m wrestling with a question about whether I can take a perspective camera with movement points and transpose them onto a mercator map. I don't know if this is even possible without a 3D camera. As far as I can tell, a homography transformation could work, or a distance calculation for the points in the picture:
Can I map the tracking XY coordinates to a mercator view of the same street corner, assuming I can calculate the distance to the point by determining the height of the camera relative to the street corner and the focus point of the lens?
I'm looking for a general purpose strategy and/or algorithm that can serve as a starting point.
