SIYA - Slide Into Your Albums : Design and construction of a controllable dolly camera with object recognition
Abstract: The scope of this project is to design, construct and build an automated camera rig with object recognition. The project explores if there are any advantages with an automated camera rig compared to a manual one, how an external camera module can be implemented to track an object and under what circumstances the camera module can register the objects for optimal performance. The construction is built to travel along a rail of two iron pipes. A camera is mounted on a small wagon that travels on top of the rail with the help of a DC-motor. On the wagon, an external camera module called Pixy2 detects a predetermined object that the user wants the main camera to detect and focus on. Using the feedback data from the Pixy2, two stepper motors run to rotate the main camera horizontally and vertically so that the object is placed in the middle of the frame while the wagon travels along the rail.
