In the application of the utility model, the multiple target automatically tracking video taking system of the utility model comprises following part:

1, Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera (Pan/Tilt/Zoom who is furnished with Zoom optic lens; The Cloud Terrace is comprehensive to be moved, camera lens becomes doubly, zoom control video camera), the adjusting that its optical lens group can be carried out optical magnification via screw rod and the step motor drive of inside and the adjusting of focusing focal length.The relative position of internal optics lens group is realized via the read-write of video camera external communication port to video camera internal control register.

2, respectively by a vertical stepper motor driven cradle head structure that is used to load the optical zoom video camera of horizontal step motor drive with another.This structure can be carried out the accessible rotation of 360 degree in the horizontal direction, can between vertical direction and horizontal direction, come back rotation by 90 degree simultaneously.

3, the horizontal movement motor and the motor that moves both vertically are controlled via the motion control servo processor, and drive through horizontal direction circuit for controlling motor and vertical direction circuit for controlling motor respectively.Through the segmentation control circuit, can realize the resolution of horizontal direction and vertical direction 0.01 degree.

4, the lens location of video camera and The Cloud Terrace athletic posture calculate and control via CPU.

5, to the control of moving target and catch by preprocessor and be issued to CPU through communication control module.

6, a level 360 degree are set up and safeguarded to CPU; Vertical 90 degree, resolution is the spatial coordinate system of 0.01 degree, makes the camera lens of video camera can aim at space 36000 * 9000; Promptly 300,000,000 2 thousand 4 hundred ten thousand directions realize accurate location and tracking to any target in the picture.

In practical application; As shown in Figure 3; Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera is erected at apart from ground G point highly for the position O of h; Multiple target tracking and the control of video camera attitude are sent instruction via CPU, and moving to level angle by horizontal motor and motor vertical driving The Cloud Terrace is α, and vertical angle is the position of β.

Because OG is perpendicular to GT, h and β are known, can obtain object distance L through triangle relation easily,

$L=\frac{h}{\cos \mathrm{\β}}.$

In video camera imaging principle simplified model figure as shown in Figure 4, object distance L is the distance of reference object to camera lens A.And q is the distance of outside camera lens A to image-forming component CCD; F is the distance of internal lens B to the CCD focus, i.e. focal length.According to lens principle, L, q and f satisfy relation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{L}+\frac{1}{q}---\left(1\right)$

The mobile L of making change through camera lens A realizes optical zoom, supposes that L and video camera internal focus value x are linear, that is:

q＝kx+a (2)

According to (1) formula and (2) formula, can obtain the relational expression of object distance L and focus value x:

$\frac{1}{L}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{kx}+a}=\frac{1}{f}---\left(3\right)$

For a certain video camera, k, a, f are constant, so object distance L and focus value x are the hyperbolic function relation.In the reality, k, a, f are unknown quantity, and L and x are for measuring.Only need in theory 3 groups of measured values (L, x) can calculate (k, a, f), thus the explicit analytic expression of the formula of obtaining (3).But, obtain optimum (k, a, f) value through least square fitting because the existence of measure error needs to adopt many group measured values.

When actual measurement object distance L and focus value x, utilize video camera to take the reference object under a certain distance L, adjustment video camera focus value x makes that image shows under a certain stationary value the most clear, obtain one group of measured value (L, x).From the close-by examples to those far off change object distance L, above-mentioned steps can obtain N group measured value (L repeatedly ₁, x ₁), (L ₂, x ₂) ..., (L _N, x _N).The position of N group measured value in coordinate is as shown in Figure 5.

Then, N is organized measured value substitution formula (3), can obtain N equation:

$\frac{1}{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="L"\; filenames="HDA0000066513450000021.png,HDA0000066513450000041.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">L</figure-callout>}}_1}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="kx"\; filenames="HDA0000066513450000021.png,HDA0000066513450000041.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">kx</figure-callout>}}_1+a}=\frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="L"\; filenames="HDA0000066513450000021.png,HDA0000066513450000041.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">L</figure-callout>}}_2}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="kx"\; filenames="HDA0000066513450000021.png,HDA0000066513450000041.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">kx</figure-callout>}}_2+a}=\frac{1}{f}---\left(4\right)$

$\frac{1}{L_N}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{kx}}_N+a}=\frac{1}{f}$

Getting N is even number, and above-mentioned equation is merged in twos, obtains:

$(\frac{1}{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="L"\; filenames="HDA0000066513450000021.png,HDA0000066513450000041.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">L</figure-callout>}}_1}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="1"\; label="kx"\; filenames="HDA0000066513450000021.png,HDA0000066513450000041.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">kx</figure-callout>}}_1+a})-(\frac{1}{L_N}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{kx}}_N+a})=0$

$(\frac{1}{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="L"\; filenames="HDA0000066513450000021.png,HDA0000066513450000041.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">L</figure-callout>}}_2}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="kx"\; filenames="HDA0000066513450000021.png,HDA0000066513450000041.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">kx</figure-callout>}}_2+a})-(\frac{1}{L_{N-1}}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{kx}}_{N-1}+a})=0---\left(5\right)$

$(\frac{1}{L_{N/2}}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{kx}}_{N/2}+a})-(\frac{1}{L_{N/2+1}}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{kx}}_{N/2+1}+a})=0$

To make up the least square function:

$y=\underset{n=1}{\overset{N/2}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{((\frac{1}{L_n}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{kx}}_n+a})-(\frac{1}{L_{N+1-n}}+\frac{1}{{\mathrm{kx}}_{N+1-n}+a}))}^2---\left(6\right)$

At given N group measured value (L ₁, x ₁), (L ₂, x ₂) ..., (L _N, x _N) under, obtain make function y obtain minimum value (k, a) value, be optimal solution (k _Opt, a _Opt).

With (k _Opt, a _Opt) in the equation of substitution formula successively (4), obtain N f value: f ₁, f ₂..., f _N, making even all obtains optimal solution:

$f_{\mathrm{opt}}=\frac{1}{N}\underset{n=1}{\overset{N}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{f}_n---\left(7\right)$

Obtain the explicit analytic expression of object distance L and focus value x thus:

$\frac{1}{L}+\frac{1}{k_{\mathrm{opt}}x+a_{\mathrm{opt}}}=\frac{1}{f_{\mathrm{opt}}}---\left(8\right)$

Focusing curve after the match and measured value x's is more as shown in Figure 6, in practical application, for certain individually defined thing apart from L ₀,, can calculate feasible imaging focusing parameter value x the most clearly according to analytic expression (8) ₀Thereby, realize the zoom control algolithm.

Through data fitting, video camera focus value (ordinate) is as shown in Figure 7 with the relation curve of shooting distance (abscissa), and wherein the curve of top is a color mode, and the curve of below is a grayscale mode, and the below lines are the difference of said two patterns.The Control Parameter of camera lens is sent instruction by CPU to video camera; Assembling control data with 16 writes in the inner servo motor control register of video camera; Realizing control, directly focusing on shown in Fig. 3, on the T point apart from video camera L to focal length of camera.
