Recently, many application systems have been developed by using a large number of cameras. If 3D points are observed from synchronized cameras, the multiple view geometry of these cameras can be computed and the 3D reconstruction of the scene is available. Thus, the synchronization of multiple cameras is essential. In this paper, we propose a method for synchronizing multiple cameras and for computing the epipolar geometry from uncalibrated and unsynchronized cameras. In particular we using affine invariance to match the frame numbers of camera images for finding the synchronization. The proposed method is tested by using real image sequences taken from uncalibrated and unsynchronized cameras.
