Mo-Sys - 'VisionMax'
continuous tracking in unmapped environmentsMo-Sys VisionMax is a versatile accessory designed to seamlessly extend the capabilities of the StarTracker Max camera tracking system. Quickly attached via a V-lock mount and powered through USB, VisionMax provides reliable tracking data in challenging environments where traditional star tracking is impractical or obstructed, such as inside vehicles, under lighting silks, or in outdoor settings. Utilising advanced vSLAM algorithms, VisionMax tracks the camera's position based on environmental features and works in tandem with the StarTracker Max's gyro to ensure continuous and accurate tracking. This integration offers smooth transitions between vision-based and star tracking without additional calibration or operator input, facilitating creative freedom and adaptability on set. VisionMax's flexible mounting options and compact design make it an ideal solution for complex shooting scenarios where camera movement is dynamic and unstructured.
Track Without Stars
Click, Tap and GoVisionMax is quickly attached to the StarTracker Max sensor module using a v-lock mount, only for the shots that need it, powered by the StarTracker Max via USB cable. Mounting point presets on all 4 sides of the sensor (or somewhere else using custom offsets) give the flexibility to mount the sensor facing the best direction for the shoot, and it works in all sensor configurations (floor, ceiling, and horizontal). Once the VisionMax is enabled in the browser UI, no additional calibration, operation, or homing is required.
Expanded Operating EnvironmentVisionMax has been developed as a secondary fallback unit for the StarTracker Max to provide tracking data, even when all tracking stars are obscured from the field of view of the StarTracker Max sensor module. VisionMax allows the camera to move under objects and into scene elements such as vehicles. The additional tracking data can also facilitate unplanned shooting events, such as taking the camera into areas that have not been prepared with tracking stars, or even outside for exterior shooting.
Seamless HandoffVisionMax uses vSLAM algorithms to track the camera’s position based on environmental features. When StarTracker Max can no longer see enough stars, tracking data is instantly drawn from a fusion of the VisionMax module and the ST Max's own gyro. Once StarTracker Max has re-acquired enough stars to calculate its position, the system uses data fusion to smoothly transition optical tracking back to star tracking.
