openube/Camera-Tracking
Our project is the system that enables a moving camera to track a moving object in real time. We plan on doing this by having a camera mounted to a swivel using two servo motors to allow for the camera’s direction to be controlled. The camera data will be read into the FPGA board and some basic object recognition algorithm will be used to identify an some object and determine if the camera needs to be moved to keep the object in the field of vision. In addition to the auto tracking mode, we plan on having an IR remote to allow for manual panning, mode selection, and power on and off. If there is additional time we would like to also interface the FPGA to a Raspberry Pi board running a linux web server to allow for email alerts (when object moves) and web based control.
