A method for the direction of the calibration of cameras (4) of a camera system (2), in which the cameras (4), an image (8) of an environment (6).a) in the region of overlap (24) of two images (8) of two cameras (4) in the two images (8) benchmarks (26) in each case be determined, to each key point (26) at least one multidimensional descriptor is determined, the descriptors of the two images (8) are compared and the descriptors associated benchmarks (26) of the two images (8) in the case of a comparison result be associated with one another via a limit value,b) the image points of the two images in a total image frame (16) are entered, whose pixels form an overall picture and in each case one spatial direction are assigned, and the entry into the total image frame (16) by means of a position locking the context of the drawing is carried out, the assignment of the position of the image points of the images (8) to the position in the overall image from the position of the associated benchmarks (26) in the total image frame (16) a correction value is determined, and the entry of the image points in the total image frame (16) with the use of the correcting quantity takes place, andc) the cameras (4) in each case be calibrated using a reference sample and the position directory using of the calibration result is produced.
