Vision 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 core of the PTZ system is a Canon VC-C analog color camera integrated with our robot hardware, operating system software (ARCOS) and ARIA. This package allows intelligent camera control mounted on, or easily added to, any P-series robot. Smooth pan, tilt or zoom action 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 the camera and framegrabber card, the Indoor PTZ Tracking and Vision package also includes ACTS, 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.
