Abstract

A visual tracking system based on ultrasonic motors is designed in view of shortcoming of traditional video surveillance system, which has a large volume, complicated structure. The pan-tilt can rotate in horizontal and vertical directions by using two ultrasonic motors served as the driving units. The image from video camera is processed and the target is identified and real-time tracked by rotating the pan-tilt which is controlled by ultrasonic motor. Compared with electromagnetic motor, the ultrasonic motor has advantages of high torque at low speed, quick response, high precision and self-locked, which makes the structure simpler and control more convenient. Experimental results show that the system can be stably tracking the selected target with fast response speed and relatively high tracking accuracy.
