METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RELATIVE CONTROL OF MULTIPLE CAMERAS USING AT LEAST ONE BIAS ZONE

摘要

The present invention relates a method of obtaining motion picture footage of a moving object within an environment, being a surveyed environment or an environment of known dimensions. The method including the steps of: creating a computer generated virtual map of the environment within a control apparatus. At least one bias zone overlays the virtual map, the at least one bias zone being a predetermined or variable pattern, capturing a dynamic primary image of said object using a first motion picture camera, and capturing a dynamic halo image that extends around the primary image using a second motion picture camera. The said first and second motion picture cameras being controlled by the control apparatus such that a position or size of the halo image relative to the primary image is regulated by the at least one bias zone.

1. A method of obtaining a motion picture footage of a moving object within an environment, being a surveyed environment or an environment of known dimensions, the method including the steps of:
creating a computer generated virtual map of the environment within a control apparatus, wherein at least one bias zone overlays the virtual map, the at least one bias zone being a predetermined or variable pattern; capturing a dynamic primary image of said moving object using a first motion picture camera; and capturing a dynamic halo image that extends around said primary image using a second motion picture camera, wherein said first and second motion picture cameras being controlled by said control apparatus such that a position or size of the halo image relative to the primary image is regulated by the at least one bias zone.
