ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus for providing motion control signals between a fixed lens static camera and a PTZ camera that includes an adjustable-in-use focal length adapted to provide improved surveillance. In one aspect of the present invention, the improved method and apparatus includes an improved PTZ process in which fuzzy logic based information is utilized to achieve a set of more reliable P/T/Z parameters. In another aspect of the invention, the fixed lens static camera and the PTZ camera are mounted vertically on top of each other. In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an automatic self-calibration between the fixed lens static camera and the PTZ camera. In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cost-effective standalone single board DSP solution.
