Through-The-Lens Camera Motion Control: An Exploration of Interactions

Tools like Spike, Iris, Andra Motion Fokus, Ronin or HexoPlus and research efforts on autonomous lecture or sports recording aim at supporting camera operators in their job and allowing them to explore new types of camera motion. When such (smart) systems are controlled by the operators they are nearly always controlled via a low level axis control. This thesis explores and evaluates high level image based control as a new approach of camera motion control. It furthers attempts to answer the questions of how interactions can be shaped for image-based camera motion control and which interactions are especially beneficial for the users.
