In the present embodiment, the number of the cameras 110 is plural, and the imaging range of each camera 110 is different, so that the imaging device 100 can cover a 360 degree or 720 degree field of view (FOV). That is, at this time, the imaging device 100 is a panoramic camera. The image captured by the camera 110 is stored in the memory 140. In this way, the screen of the actor during the performance can be recorded in real time, which is advantageous for finding a cause when an accident occurs.

The indication source 120 is disposed on the camera 110. In this embodiment, each of the cameras 110 is associated with one of the indication sources 120. The indicator source 120 can be a laser source for emitting a laser 122 and an indicator mark 124. The indicator mark 124 may be a laser pattern or a laser grid. Each of the indication sources 120 is movably disposed on the corresponding camera 110 and rotatable around the camera 110 to adjust the direction of the laser 122 and the indicator mark 124 emitted by the indication source 120. Specifically, the indication source 120 is movably disposed on the camera 110 by a clamping device (not shown) such that the indication source 120 can be rotated back and forth in different directions on the corresponding camera 110.

The camera device 100 can communicate with a control terminal 200 (such as a remote controller, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.), the processor 130 receives the remote control signal sent by the control terminal 200, and controls the remote control signal according to the remote control signal. The indication source 120 performs the corresponding operation. The control terminal 200 includes a plurality of control keys for controlling the indication source 120 to perform different operations. The control button includes a start button (not shown) and an adjustment button (not shown).

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in operation, the start button of the control terminal 200 is pressed, so that the control terminal 200 generates a start command and transmits the start command to the photographing device 100. Each of the indication sources 120 is configured to respond to the activation command, emit a laser to the surrounding environment of the corresponding camera 110 to scan the surrounding environment, and simultaneously rotate relative to the camera 110 to change the direction of the laser. The camera 110 is configured to respond to the activation command and immediately capture a scene within its field of view to form a picture. The processor 130 is configured to identify whether the laser emitted by the indication source 120 exists in the picture. When the laser emitted by the indication source 120 exists in the picture, it indicates that the laser can be captured by the camera 110 at this time, that is, the direction in which the laser is currently emitted is in the shooting of the camera 110. range. When the laser emitted by the indication source 120 does not exist in the picture, it indicates that the laser cannot be captured by the camera 110 at this time, and the direction in which the laser is currently emitted is in the blind spot of the camera 110. Therefore, the processor 130 controls the indication source 120 to transmit the indication mark 124 along the direction in which the laser is currently emitted, for indicating a blind spot of the photographing apparatus 100, to remind the subject to prevent it from entering the location. Describe the blind spot.

In this embodiment, after the indication source 120 transmits the indication mark 124, the processor 130 is further configured to identify whether the indication mark 124 exists in the picture to confirm whether the indication mark 124 is correct. The location of the blind spot is marked. If the indicator mark 124 does not appear in any of the pictures taken by the camera 110, it indicates that the indicator mark 124 correctly marks the blind spot position, and at this time, the position of the indicator mark 124 need not be adjusted; The indicator mark 124 appears in any of the pictures taken by the camera 110, indicating that the indicator mark 124 does not correctly mark the blind spot position. At this time, the user can press the adjustment button, thereby the control terminal 200 generates an adjustment. The instruction is transmitted to the photographing device 100. The processor 130 is configured to adjust the position of the indication mark 124 in response to the adjustment instruction until the indication mark 124 does not appear in any of the pictures taken by the camera 110.

The control terminal 200 can control the turning on or off of the laser 122 during shooting. The control terminal 200 can also control the rotation of the laser 122 to cause the laser spot to form a radium ray.

Further, the indication source 120 can be a scattered laser pointer. The laser pen can form a clearly visible laser in a range of at least 100 meters.
