Abstract
An adjustment device and associated method is disclosed, for adjusting an equipment, such as a camera, having an actuator for adjusting a variable setting, such as a lens setting (focus, iris, zoom). A control system drives the actuator and command component of the adjustment device to reflect a position of the actuator. In a slave mode, the command component is driven by the control system. In an override mode, a manual operation of the command component drives the actuator of the equipment. Also disclosed are a method for building a model of a lens, a method for treating an image capture to produce a visual effect, a method for creating a node in a model representing a given space, a method for setting a node in a model based on a known node, and a method for calibrating a node in a model.
