MONITORING SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE PAN/TILT OF A CAMERA USED IN A SURGERY ROOM

摘要

The present document describes a system for installation in an operation room for providing a remote viewer/doctor with continuous visual access to the proceedings of a surgery (as a fixed target). The system comprises a camera comprising an internal processor for the processing of images/video, a moving platform on which the camera is provided, and pan and tilt motors for moving the camera head. A remote server sends pan/tilt commands for the pan and tilt motors and position commands for the moving platform to change positions. An external processor is provided at the system, which is dedicated to the processing of the pan and tilt commands without delay for panning and/or tilting the camera as the moving platform is changing positions at a rotating speed that allows the remote viewer to have un-interrupted visual access to the proceedings of the surgery.
