The New Controller: Description and Simulation (June-July 2004)

I have designed the a new controller for my PTU-camera. Here, the controller is described as well as some simulations.

Experiments With The New Controller(June-July 2004)

I have implemented the new controller and I have performed some of the experiments. Tracking people experiment shows a better performance while booming faster. The second experiment was tracking a ball.

Attaching a joystick to the tracking program(July 2004)

To give the operator the possibility to adjust the desired postition in the image plane I have attached a joystick to my program. An experiment was performed and the videos can be seen here.

A comparison between operator performance and operator+ vision performance(August 2004)

To determine if the system is better or not that an operator, several experiments were performed. For these experiments the system was set to track a target moved by the Mitsubishi robotic arm.

A comparison between operator performance and operator + vision performance while booming on a predefined path(August 2004)

To determine if the system is better or not that an operator, several experiments were performed. This time, a predefined path was established for booming. For these experiments the system was set to track a target moved by the Mitsubishi robotic arm.

Another comparison between operator performance and operator + vision performance while booming on a predefined path(August 2004)

The Output Tracking Regulation Controller was implemented for tilt motion as well. Again, a predefined path was established for booming. For these experiments the system was set to track a target moved by the Mitsubishi robotic arm.

Tracking a ball while booming(August 2004)

The Output Tracking Regulation Controller was implemented for tilt motion as well. I was tracking here a ball while booming. The three videos shows succesfull tracking.
