Accord<strong>in</strong>g to figure 2 we assume the follow<strong>in</strong>g terms:<br />

, - the camera coord<strong>in</strong>ates before distortion,<br />

, - the camera coord<strong>in</strong>ates after distortion,<br />

- the distance between the object and the camera measured before distortion,<br />

, - the tracked object coord<strong>in</strong>ates, assum<strong>in</strong>g $y_o=0$,<br />

- the angle of deviation of a camera from the vertical position when the<br />

camera is directed to the object (before distortion) ,<br />

- the angle of deviation of a camera from the vertical position when the<br />

camera is not directed to the object (after distortion).<br />

The aim of the camera sett<strong>in</strong>gs correction is to turn the head of the camera <strong>in</strong><br />

a manner which allows the object to appear <strong>in</strong> the camera field of view. The figure<br />

3 represents the object position <strong>in</strong> relation to the camera field of view. Furthermore,<br />

we assume that when the object is <strong>in</strong> the center of the field of view then<br />

0. is a signal produced by the image process<strong>in</strong>g system otherwise<br />

0. Hence we assume that <strong>in</strong> the moment of object position comput<strong>in</strong>g<br />

( 0) the object is directly <strong>in</strong> the axis of the camera.<br />

The position of the object is calculated on the basis of rangef<strong>in</strong>der data (distance<br />

), GPS [30] and IMU data , , :<br />

As was it mentioned above, it is assumed that the object is <strong>in</strong> the center of the field<br />

of view. The aforementioned calculations are processed dur<strong>in</strong>g the helicopter
