Abstract
A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for controlling a camera using a voice command and image recognition. One or more processors on the camera captures the voice command that is from a user of the camera and declares a subject of interest. The one or more processors processes the voice command and sets the subject of interest. The one or more processors receives a camera image from an imaging system of the camera. The one or more processors identifies the subject of interest in the camera image. The one or more processors sets camera one or more parameters that are appropriate to the subject of interest.
Claims12
A non-transitory computer program product for controlling a camera using a voice command and image recognition, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable to:
- capture the voice command from a user of the camera, the voice command from a user of the camera, the voice command declaring a subject of interest;
- process the voice command declaring the subject of interest;
- set the subject of interest in a frame of the camera, according to the voice command declaring the subject of interest;
- receive a camera image from an imaging system of the camera;
- identify in the camera image the subject of interest defined by the voice command declaring the subject of interest;
- and
- set at least one of camera parameters of focus, exposure, pan, and tilt such that the at least one of the camera parameters are appropriate to the subject of interest defined by the voice command declaring the subject of interest.
A computer system for controlling a camera using a voice command and image recognition, the computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions executable to:
- capture the voice command from a user of the camera, the voice command from a user of the camera, the voice command declaring a subject of interest;
- process the voice command declaring the subject of interest;
- set the subject of interest in a frame of the camera, according to the voice command declaring the subject of interest;
- receive a camera image from an imaging system of the camera;
- identify in the camera image the subject of interest defined by the voice command declaring the subject of interest;
- and
- set at least one of camera parameters of focus, exposure, pan, and tilt such that the at least one of the camera parameters are appropriate to the subject of interest defined by the voice command declaring the subject of interest.
