  • Method for controlling a robotic camera and camera system
    Patent number: 11134186
    Abstract: A method for controlling a robotic camera capturing a portion of a playing field is suggested. An image region of interest is determined in a reference image of the playing field. The image region of interest is determined by artificial intelligence. The image region of interest is associated with a physical region of interest on the playing field. From the physical region of interest control parameters for the robotic camera are deducted such that the robotic camera captures the physical region of interest on the playing field. As a result it is achieved that the robotic camera automatically captures the most interesting scene on the playing field. Furthermore, a camera system is suggested that implements the method.
