Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of adjusting control commands for moving a medical camera connected to a motorized support structure, wherein the adjustment is based on images provided by the camera. Based on a comparison of at least two images provided by the camera, an actual motion of the camera is determined and compared with an intended motion defined by a control command forwarded to the motorized support structure. In case a deviation between the intended motion and the actual motion is determined, a correction is applied to the control command such that the actual motion of the camera coincides with the intended motion.
