-- The predicted position is derived from measuring the vector velocity of a potential
target during the number of frames specified by the Tracking, "Min events" parameter.
After that number of detections are measured, it uses the estimated lag time of the
software/camera to derive what the target location will be in the future and move to that
point.
-- So if while the system sees the laser you make some quick motions (high velocity),
then it predicts what may seem to be odd future locations some distance from the laser
spot.
-- Thus, to do that kind of testing requires a very steady hand. What I do is sit in a
swivel chair (I see you have one), point the laser at the wall outside of the bounding box
and then turn in the chair so that the laser spot emulates a moving object in the FOV.
That method tends to eliminate the dithering problem.
The purpose of the resolution entry is to tell the system what the camera is actually set
to. You cannot use it to set the camera's resolution.
You may also want to reduce the initial zoom speed, for example, from 2.0 to 1.0.
Generally, the process to validate system operation is to:
1. Check operation with P/T and Zoom disabled and use the Default settings. Look for
proper detection and tracking and adjust settings such as Crop, Blur, Delta, Min and
Max areas if necessary.
2. Enable only P/T and check again. Look for proper detection, initial move and
continuous tracking of the sort of targets that were detectable in step 1. Adjust camera
Proportional constant larger if there is no hunting (unstable motion), then back it down a
bit.
3. If that works, then enable Zoom. Look for the largest number of zoom-in increments
without losing the target.
It would be best to try all this on daytime aircraft as test targets. At night, you may find
that you want to make the Min area a bit larger to avoid triggering on twinkling stars.
For feedback, the best sort of files to provide is just a Wide video plus a screenshot of
your Wide and Camera configurations.
