The Clinic team has designed and implemented an internet-based advanced camera positioning and tracking system for Trex Enterprises’ high-resolution digital camera. While the camera’s video streams to the web in real time, the web user can control the camera’s pan and tilt position and its XY translational position. The tracking function allows the camera to recognize a laser point target and follow the target’s movement within the camera’s workspace.
