Autonomous systems and methods for still and moving picture production

摘要

An autonomous picture production system and a method for automatically capturing an image of a location within a spectator seating area of a stadium upon request of a spectator are disclosed. The system comprises one or more motorized cameras; an external interaction device for receiving an external request from the spectator; a camera control device for determining an optimal camera from the one or more motorized cameras for capturing the image and a database for storing the image. The camera control device controls the optimal camera to capture the image and the external interaction device informs the spectator how to retrieve the image from the database. The system can further comprises a kiosk in communication with the external interaction device for interacting with the spectator and for sending the request to the external interaction device.
