Abstract
A computer aided filming system, allowing to acquire images from at least one camera of a moving target (2, 3). This target moves within known geographical and physical boundaries. The system according the invention comprises pointing means to point at the moving target, computation means which determine the position of the moving target based on the pointing angles of the said pointing means and the corresponding boundary data, thus allowing said computation means to determine the pointing angles and the focus of at least one camery. The pointing means could be the main camera, an eye position sensor coupled with a head position sensor or an operator pointable structure with pan and tilt sensors.
