Abstract
A system and related method for tracking a moving subject via a ground-based or airborne peripheral device includes plugging an intelligent camera device to the unmanned vehicle, establishing a peripheral link by which the intelligent camera device can assume control of the unmanned vehicle's control systems. Based on analysis of images captured by the intelligent camera device, in addition to position data associated with the unmanned vehicle or with the subject, the intelligent camera device may autonomously maneuver the unmanned vehicle to track or follow the subject while maintaining the moving subject in a consistent framing orientation.
