description The Automated six Degrees of Freedom (DoF) definition of industrial components has become an added value in production processes as long as the required accuracy is guaranteed. This is where multi-camera systems are finding their niche in the market. These systems provide, among other things, the ease of automating tracking processes without human intervention and knowledge about vision and/or metrology. In addition, the cost of integrating a new sensor into the complete system is negligible compared to other multi-tracker systems. The increase in information from different points of view in multi-camera systems raises the accuracy, based on the premise that the more points of view, the lower the level of uncertainty. This work is devoted to the calibration procedures of multi-camera systems, which is decisive to achieve high performance, with a particular focus on the uncertainty budget. Moreover, an evaluation methodology has been carried out, which is key to determining the level of accuracy of the measurement system.
