Summary
One of the most important aspects in urban agglomerations is to find the right way to monitor the sound polluters, such as the surface traffic. The paper presents the geometric and kinematic model of the Pan-Tilt Unit (PTU) used as an orientation device of a digital camcorder, in urban noise measurements. Using programs written in Matlab, the authors find the symbolic equations of the mathematical model, useful in the motion control of the PTU, with the purpose of orienting the camera according to the environmental requirements.
