Na chlauf-Vorri chtungFollow-up device

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Nachlauf-Vorrichtung z.B.s für Video- oder andere Kameras und Zielnachlauf-Einrichtungen jedweder Art nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a tracking device such as s for video or other cameras and target tracking devices of any kind according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die vom Objekt ausgestrahlte Sendefrequenz soll von der Nachlauf-Vorrichtung so verarbeitet werden, dass nur diese eine Nachlauf-Vorrichtung das Objekt identifiziert. (Viel-Kamera-Betrieb).
Es 1st bekannt, dassThe transmission frequency emitted by the object should be processed by the tracking device in such a way that only this one tracking device identifies the object. (A lot of camera operation).
It is known that

eine (Video-)Kamera, auf einem Schwenkneiger montiert, ferngesteuert werden kann (diverse Artikel in Elektronik-Zeitschr.), Modelle mittels eines Funkfernsteuersenders zu Lande, zu Wasser, und in der Luft ferngesteuert werden können(div. Artikel z.B. in der Zeitschrift Modell).a (video) camera on a tilting head can be mounted and controlled remotely (various articles in electronics magazine), Models remotely controlled by means of a radio remote control transmitter on land, at sea and in the air (various articles e.g. in the magazine Modell).

Dabei ist es allerdings nötig, dass ein Mensch Befehle zum Steuern erteilt. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Ansteuern eines Zieles durch eine Nachlauf-Vorrichtung ausführen zu lassen, siehe Patentanspruch 1.
siehe kennzeichnenden Teil des Unteranspr.«In doing so, however, it is necessary for a person to issue commands to steer. The invention is based on the object of having a target controlled by a tracking device, see claim 1.
see the characterizing part of the sub-claim. "

Beschreibung eines oder mehrerer Ausführungsbeispiele: Ein- und Ausschalten der z.B. Kamera vom Objekt aus,Description of one or more exemplary embodiments: Switching the camera on and off from the object, for example,

ferngesteuertes Ausrichten z.B. der Kamera vom Objekt aus auf das Objekt hin, bis der Öffnungswinkel der Antennen das Objekt erfasst hat. Das Bild erfasst dann die Nachlauf -Vorr. automatisch.remote-controlled alignment e.g. of the camera from the object towards the object until the The opening angle of the antennas has detected the object. The image then captures the trail - Prev. automatically.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass sich ein Kamera-Besitzer selbst filmen kann (bei Sport,Hobby und auch im Beruf). Auch ein Gerät als Objekt, wie ein startendes oder landendes Flugzeug etc., kann automatisch beobachtet werden.
Auch die Tiefenscharfe eines Bildes ist optimal eingestellt, da die Kamera ihr Objekt stets im Visier hat.The advantages achieved with the invention are in particular that a camera owner can film himself (for sports, hobbies and also at work). A device as an object, such as an aircraft taking off or landing, etc., can also be observed automatically.
The depth of field of an image is also optimally set because the camera always has its object in its sights.

Die künstlerische Gestaltung eines Bildes muss nach wie vor manuell geschehen. Ein Ausführunsbeispiel der Erfindung sei im folgenden beschrieben:The artistic design of an image still has to be done manually. An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below:

Die kompakte Nachlauf-Vorr. wird z.B. auf ein Stativ fest montiert. Ihr beweglicher Teil führt schwenkende und neigende Bewegungen aus. Auf ihm ist die Kamera fest mon tiert. Auf diesem beweglichen Teil sind 4 Antennen im Quadrat um die Kameralinse und in ihrer Schnittebene montiert oder auch ein Pyramiden-Prisma mit 4 Empfangsdioden in Längsachse der Kamera angebracht oder auch Fotodioden die Winkeldifferenz einfallender Strahlen feststellen und weiterleiten. Wenn sich dann das Objekt in den Öffnungswinkel der Antennen hineinbewegt, richtet die Auswert-Elektronik über je einen Nachstellmotor (vertical u. horizontal) die Antennen und somit z.B. eine Kamera senkrecht zum Objekt aus. Jede Bewegung des Objektes wird also ausgeglichen, das Objekt bleibt immer in Bildmitte. Ein Kameramann ist nicht mehr erforderlich.The compact follow-up supply. is permanently mounted on a tripod, for example. Your moving part performs swiveling and tilting movements. The camera is firmly mounted on it. On this movable part 4 antennas are mounted in a square around the camera lens and in its sectional plane or a pyramid prism with 4 receiver diodes is attached in the longitudinal axis of the camera or photodiodes determine and forward the angle difference of incident rays. When the object then moves into the opening angle of the antennas, the evaluation electronics align the antennas and thus a camera, for example, perpendicular to the object via an adjusting motor each (vertical and horizontal). Every movement of the object is compensated for, the object always remains in the center of the picture. A cameraman is no longer required.
