Camera command window

In this window you can command the available on-board camera pointing capabilities of

U-See.

In this window you can command the different modes available for the camera pointing:

• Forward: Camera will point directly forward. No change in orientation is permitted

• Manual: The camera can be adjusted to whatever Pan and Tilt you wish through

the text editing boxes. Camera will point in this direction regardless the vehicle

orientation. The orientation of the camera may be changed in this mode through a

dedicated joystick connected to the computer or entering directly the desired pan

and tilt value in the input boxes.

• Stabilised: The camera will maintain spatial orientation of the current selected pan

and tilt. If the vehicle rises its nose, the camera will correct the movement to

continuing looking at the same spatial direction. Although it will not follow a

particular sub-vehicle point. The orientation of the camera may be changed in this

mode through a dedicated joystick connected to the computer.

• Geo-Referenced: In this mode the camera of the vehicle will be pointed towards

the point designated through left click on the map. The camera will correct attitude

changes and position changes in the vehicle to always look to the coordinates

selected. The hardware will use a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to keep track of the

ground while climbing or descending. The orientation of the camera may be

changed in this mode through a dedicated joystick connected to the computer.

• Neutral: Camera actuators will be instructed to adopt their neutral position.
