There are numerous scenarios where the photographer is in difficulty and unable to capture or shoot video as required. This could be due to several factors such as limited space, decreased visibility, and an obstacle in the way. Therefore, this project implements the idea to capture and shoot video of the desired subject through an automatically controlled robotic camera with no need for a photographic bloke. The system comprises functions such as detection, tracking, live streaming, and video/audio recording along with the features of Radio-Frequency-Identification (RFID). Therefore, this robotic camera will detect the desired subject, track and focus it with the help of its position driven through movable motors sensing the RFID tag in case the object is non-stationary. The video/audio will be recorded on a computer along with the live streaming available on an Android-based device. The Viola-Jones algorithm of the image processing technique is used to detect the particular subject features and C for accessing the movable camera protocols. The RFID transmitter and receiver are used to sense the RFID card and serve the purpose to track the subject using the algorithms of image processing, with the advantage of ignoring other obstacles between the camera and the detected subject. Thus, adding a novel functionality to the existing systems, that lacks the feature of focusing the camera on the subject, when an obstacle is detected in between. The live streaming is achieved wirelessly through an open-source platform X-operating system, Apache, MySQL, Php, Perl (XAMPP). The idea is verified through concluded arrangements in self-made scenarios in response to the speed, distance, light, and background noise of the detected subject, which delivered encouraging results. Therefore, the designed system can be used for live conferences, seminars, and other multimedia-required arrangements.
