Targets & Tracking
Lensmaster supports three types of targets that are useful in a variety of filming applications.
- Static Target
A static object with fixed coordinate points.
- Dynamic Target
A moving target whose position can be changed on the timeline.
- Turntable Target
A rotating static target in the turntable frame.
Once targets are defined, users can use different Trackers such as linear, arc or orbit trackes to design various dynamic and engagement camera movements.
The optical diagram for target capture is illustrated below. Use the Target Manager Widget to add, edit or remove Static, Dynamic or Turntable Targets from your filming workspace.
Optics Nomenclature
- Sensor
The image sensor on the digital camera.
- Sensor Distance
The distance from the robot flange axis to the sensor.
- Nodal Distance
The distance from the sensor to the nodal point.
- Lens Length
The distance from the sensor to the lens tip.
- Lens Tip
The last glass on the lens.
- Focus Distance
Distance from the Nodal Point to the focal plane.
- Static Target from Measurement Distance
Tape measured distance from the 'Lens Tip' to the target plane.
- Nodal Point
The nodal point of the lens where the incoming light forms a node.
- Z-Distance
The perpendicular distance from the lens axis to the robot flange plane.
- X-Distance
The distance from the robot flange axis to the sensor position.
