  • Patent number: 10317775
    Abstract: An adjustment device and associated method is disclosed, for adjusting an equipment, such as a camera, having an actuator for adjusting a variable setting, such as a lens setting (focus, iris, zoom). A control system drives the actuator and command component of the adjustment device to reflect a position of the actuator. In a slave mode, the command component is driven by the control system. In an override mode, a manual operation of the command component drives the actuator of the equipment. Also disclosed are a method for building a model of a lens, a method for treating an image capture to produce a visual effect, a method for creating a node in a model representing a given space, a method for setting a node in a model based on a known node, and a method for calibrating a node in a model.

  • Patent number: 10306134
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling a setting of an equipment related to image capture comprises capturing position data and orientation data of a sensing device; determining position information of a region of interest (i.e. a node) to be treated by the equipment, relative to the position and orientation data of the sensing device; and outputting a control signal directed to the equipment, in order to control in real-time the setting of the equipment based on said position information of the region of interest.
