Camera system control for correcting bore-sight offset
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling a camera system to perform a zoom movement comprising:
- receiving zoom information for performing a zoom movement;
determining zoom speed information of the camera system; and
moving, using one or more pieces of computer hardware, a displayed field of view of the camera system at a positioning speed based on the determined zoom speed information to correct for a bore-sight offset of the camera system as the zoom movement is performed.

Abstract
A camera system is provided that provides a smooth and centered zoom, even at high levels of magnification. The camera system corrects for misalignment between the optical axis of a lens and center of an image sensor. As a result of the misalignment, the center of an image will move during a zoom movement. The current camera system corrects for the misalignment as the zoom movement occurs. The correction is matched to the speed of the zoom in order to provide a fluid zoom movement.

19. A camera system comprising:
-
a lens; an image sensor; and a processor for executing instructions stored in memory, the instructions when executed by the processor configuring the camera system to perform the following; receive zoom information for performing a zoom movement; determine zoom speed information of the camera system; and move a displayed field of view of the camera system at a positioning speed based on the determined zoom speed information to correct for a bore-sight offset of the camera system as the zoom movement is performed. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
