Publication number: 20110273570Abstract: A camera, controller, method and non-transitory computer readable storage device cooperate to control different portions of an area covered by a camera. Selective control is granted to different remote devices to establish respective portions of the area, so the respective portions of the image are sent to the remote devices making the request. Moreover, the camera has a digital pan, digital tilt, and digital zoom capability, which allows multiple portions of the image to be set by remote devices. When a limited number of remote devices are allowed to simultaneously control the portions of the area covered by the camera, then control is selectively transferred from one device to an awaiting device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2011Publication date: November 10, 2011Applicant: Sony CorporationInventor: Kazunori SAKAKI

Publication number: 20060146142Abstract: The present invention reduces the burden on a target object such as a test subject by acquiring multi perspective video image data by photographing the target object by means of a plurality of cameras and acquires the actual movement including a picture of the target object independently of the measurement environment by acquiring camera parameters such as the attitude and zoom of the camera along with picture data. By acquiring video image data by synchronizing a plurality of cameras during photographing by the cameras and at the same time acquiring camera parameters in sync with the video image data, rather than simply acquiring video image data and camera parameters, the present invention acquires the actual movement of the target object independently of the measurement environment and acquires the movement of the video image itself of the target object rather than movement of only representative points.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2003Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: Hiroshi Arisawa, Kazunori Sakaki
