    System (PTZ-Fast Track Vision System). And, either capture and digitize the video signal with an onboard frame grabber in your Pioneer 2 EBX computer (PTZ Custom Vision), or send it offboard with an audio/video (A/V) radio system to a frame grabber in a basestation for real-time video surveillance (PTZ Surveillance System) and for you own vision research.

  • Page 6: Where To Get Ptz System Software

    The PTZ Robotic Camera for Pioneer depends on a working knowledge of your Pioneer Mobile Robot and the Pioneer 2 Operating System software (P2OS). Consult your Pioneer 2 Operation Manual for details. Obtain copies of the latest Pioneer manuals (this document, too) from our Internet website: http://robots.activmedia.com/docs...

  • Page 7: Hardware Installation

    The PTZ camera comes detached from the robot for safe shipment. We recommend mounting the camera to the front of the robot, centered on top of the Console (Figure 2-1). We have prepared the Pioneer 2 Console with mounting holes, and include the mounting screws with the PTZ camera installation kit. But do not feel obliged to mount it there—the camera may be mounted to any convenient location on the robot.

    With a separate cable, plug into the RCA Video signal connector 1 or 2 on the side panel and the other end into a NTSC or PAL (respective of the camera) monitor. You should see a full-color image. Use the hand-held controller that comes with the camera to test the pan, tilt, and zoom features.

    P2OS automatically packages the argument and shunts it through the AUX serial port on the Pioneer 2 microcontroller to the VISCA Input port of the camera. Currently, communications is one-way command-only there is no way to verify camera position or to take advantage of the camera's built-in tracking algorithms through P2OS.

    /makefile PTZ with Saphira The Saphira C-language-based application development environment automatically manages Pioneer communications and P2OS command packets. The PTZ System software includes Saphira functions and related arguments to create Saphira-mediated client applications for control of the PTZ Robotic Camera (Table 3-1).
