Hello,
? May I propose a patch for this?
I have coded something to do the job.
Basically, this add a new option:? "on_camera_move",? a command to be
executed when the camera has to be moved in tracking mode.
The command can move the camera according to its API (see example), or
something else...
This hook is then called by?? track_center()? and?? track_move()
Several parameters are passed as environment variables:
- When called by track_center():
TRACK_ACTION=center
TRACK_XOFF
TRACK_YOFF
- When called by track_move():
TRACK_ACTION=move
TRACK_CENT_HEIGHT
TRACK_CENT_MAXX
TRACK_CENT_MAXY
TRACK_CENT_MINX
TRACK_CENT_MINY
TRACK_CENT_WIDTH
TRACK_CENT_X
TRACK_CENT_Y
TRACK_IMGS_HEIGHT
TRACK_IMGS_MOTIONSIZE
TRACK_IMGS_WIDTH
- in both cases:
TRACK_HOMEX
TRACK_HOMEY
TRACK_IOMOJO_ID
TRACK_MAXX
TRACK_MAXY
TRACK_MINMAXFOUND
TRACK_MINX
TRACK_MINY
TRACK_MOTHORX_REVERSE
TRACK_MOTHORY_REVERSE
TRACK_MOTORX
TRACK_MOTORY
TRACK_MOVE_WAIT
TRACK_PAN_ANGLE
TRACK_PORT
TRACK_SPEED
TRACK_STEP_ANGLE_X
TRACK_STEP_ANGLE_Y
TRACK_STEPSIZE
TRACK_TILT_ANGLE
TRACK_TYPE
Well, this almost do the job. But to be honest, I would not recommend it
for a production grade system. Keep this as 'experimental' ;-)
Best regards
Christophe
