Camera Systems
Indoor PTZ camera system
Indoor pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera systems provide an integrated robotic camera whose movement can be easily controlled via ARIA development software. The camera can be configured for use with your own custom vision routines, with our ACTS color-tracking application and/or for surveillance puposes.
The the PTZ system consists of a Canon VC-C analog color camera, and framegrabber PC-104 card. The camera is mounted and installed on any robot and provided with power and data connections to the onboard computer. Pan, tilt and zoom can be controlled from ARIA.
Images from the camera are acquired via a framegrabber PC-104 interface card added to the onboard computer. Drivers are provided for Linux and Windows.
In addition to the camera and framegrabber card, the PTZ camera package also includes ACTS (Advanced Color Tracking System), simple and easy to use color-based object tracking software. Use ACTS and ARIA to program a robot to track and follow or find objects.
