ACM 9000 : Automated Camera Man

Abstract: Today’s digital society is changing the way we learn and educate drastically. Education is being digitalized with the use of online courses and digital lectures. This bachelor thesis solves the problem of how to be able to record a lecture without a camera operator, an Automated Camera Man (ACM), for easier production of high quality education material. It was achieved with a modularized design process, practical testing and a scientific approach. The Automated Camera Man can be placed in the rear of the lecture hall to record or stream the content while it actively adjusts itself and its direction towards the lecturer using image processing and analysis.
