<p>A system for positioning a video camera 10 within a studio area, comprises a matrix of optically detectable marker elements 16 provided on the studio floor or on a mat on the studio floor, each marker element carrying information defining uniquely the position of the marker element on the floor. The camera is mounted on a wheeled dolly 12 for movement over the studio floor. The dolly carries sensor cameras s1,s2 for detecting and reading the marker elements 16. Each marker element comprises a central marking 17 defining a central reference point and further comprises a surrounding ring or track of alternating contrasting markings 18-26 incorporating, in encoded form, information as to the position or co-ordinates of that reference point in the floor area. The marker elements, together with the sensor cameras s1,s2 and associated processing circuitry allow a marker element 16 to be located and "read" in any orientation of the camera or dolly about a vertical axis.</p> |
