Abstract
A TV/video camera (12) converts optical images into electronic image data. A mounting (10) for the camera has moving and non-moving components to provide movement of the camera in pan and tilt axes and damping means for damping movement in each axis. To remove unwanted movement transmitted to the mounting encoders (16,17) measure movement between the moving and non-moving parts of the mounting in each axis to indicate intended camera movement, and an electronic gyroscope (18) measures actual movement of the camera/mounting in the or each axis. A microprocessor (20) is provided separate from the camera to receive said electronic image data from the camera and input from the encoders and gyroscope to determine the unwanted movement of a camera from the intended and actual movement signals and to modify the image data to remove the unwanted camera movement from the data.

7. A camera mounting system, comprising:
-
a camera having means to receive an optical image and to convert the optical image into an electronic image data; a mounting for the camera comprising moving and non-moving components to provide for movement of the camera in at least one axis; damping means for damping movement in the at least one axis of movement of the mounting; and means for removing unwanted movement transmitted to the mounting comprising; first means for measuring movement between the moving and non-moving parts of the mounting in the at least one axis to indicate intended camera movement; second means for measuring actual movement of at least one of the camera and mounting in the at least one axis; and an image processing device separate from the camera to receive the electronic image data and input from the first and second means for measuring movement of the camera, the image processing device determining the unwanted movement of the camera from intended and actual movement signals and modifying the image data to remove the unwanted camera movement from the data. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
