| Title: |
Dual Loop Camera Stabilization Systems and Methods |
| Abstract: |
A method for stabilizing a camera platform includes generating a first
signal from a platform sensor, such as a gyro sensor, on the camera
platform indicative of a change in angular position of the camera
platform. The first signal is added to a control signal provided from a
camera platform position controller, typically operated by the camera
operator. A first correction value based on the sum of the first signal
and the control signal is calculated. A second correction value is
calculated based on a signal from an encoder associated with a motor
linked to the camera platform. Adding the first correction value and the
second correction value provides a motor control signal which is
amplified and used to control the motor.
