1. A camera system comprising:
- a driver comprising a rotor;
a supporter fixed to the rotor;
a first sound sensor disposed on the supporter and configured for measuring a first corresponding sound signal emanating from an acoustic source;
a second sound sensor, arranged apart from the first sound sensor, disposed on the supporter and configured for measuring a second corresponding sound signal emanating from the acoustic source;
a camera fixed on the supporter; and
a processing unit configured for processing the first and the second sound signals and directing the driver to rotate the supporter, thereby aligning the camera with the acoustic source.

Abstract
A camera system includes a driver rotating a rotor and an attached supporter. Two sound sensors on the supporter measure sound signals from an acoustic source. A camera on the supporter is aligned with the acoustic source when the driver rotates the supporter according to differences between the sound signals.

16. A camera system comprising:
-
a driver comprising a rotor; a supporter fixed to the rotor; a first sound sensor disposed on the supporter and configured for measuring a first corresponding sound signal emanating from an acoustic source; a second sound sensor, arranged apart from the first sound sensor, disposed on the supporter and configured for measuring a second corresponding sound signal emanating from the acoustic source; a camera fixed to the supporter and directed at a perpendicular bisector of a connection line of the two sound sensors; and a processing unit configured for processing the two measured sound signals to obtain a difference therebetween and directing the driver to rotate the supporter based upon the obtained difference to aim the camera at the sound source. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
