In this paper, a new technique for camera calibration using only GPS data is presented. A new way of tracking objects that move on a plane in a video is achieved by using the location and size of the bounding box to estimate the distance, achieving an average prediction error of 5.55m per 100m distance from the camera. This solution can be run in real-time at the edge, achieving efficient inference in a low-powered IoT environment while also being able to track multiple different vessels.
