1. A computer-implemented method for controlling a robotic camera to capture a target situation during a sporting event played by a plurality of participants, comprising:
- periodically receiving, from a tracking system, positions of the plurality of participants;
processing the periodically-received positions to identify at least one condition, of one or more involved participants of the plurality of participants, that anticipates the target situation, the target situation involving the one or more involved participants; and
controlling the robotic camera, when the at least one condition is identified, to zoom-in on and track the one or more involved participants based on the periodically-received positions, and to capture the one or more involved participants prior to and during the anticipated target situation.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining a target situation in an athletic event. Positional information including the relative positions of a group of selected participants is initially received from a tracking system, and the aggregate motion of the selected participants is detected in real-time using the positional information. The target situation may be determined to have occurred when a change in the aggregate motion occurs in accordance with a predetermined characteristic during an initial time interval.

9. A system for capturing a target situation during a sporting event played by a plurality of participants, comprising:
-
a robotic camera; a tracking system configured to periodically determine positions of the plurality of participants; and a computing device communicatively coupled with the robotic camera, the computing device including; instructions for processing the periodically-determined positions to identify at least one condition, of one or more involved participants of the plurality of participants, that anticipates the target situation involving the one or more involved participants; and instructions for controlling the robotic camera, when the at least one condition is identified, to zoom-in on and track the one or more involved participants based on the periodically-received positions, and to capture the one or more involved participants prior to and during the anticipated target situation. - View Dependent Claims (10)
