I use Kinect and openNI to record an sequence depth video with fixed angle.
What I want to do is to recover virtual camera rotation from the video, so that I can simulate the video is taking from the top view.
I know I can physically to do that. Even so, I still need to do some calibration and recover camera rotation a little bit.
Where should I start from?

The problem itself is known as "Camera Pose Estimation". You may want to look at the available literature about this topic, there should be also an implementation of it inside ROS operating system. Among the technique used to accomplish this task, there are also Structure From Motion and VSLAM algorithms borrowed from the robotics field :-)
