Hi,
To answer the given problem, you can implement the ‘campos’ and ‘camtarget’ functions in MATLAB to programmatically adjust the camera position and target based on the position and motion of the system.
Here are some steps to implement this solution:
- Use the ‘axis’ function to determine the bounding box of the system in the simulation.
- Calculate the center of the bounding box and the distance from the center to the farthest point. This will give you the radius of a sphere that contains the entire system.
- Use the ‘campos’ and ‘camtarget’ functions to set the camera position and target such that the entire system is in view.
- You can set the camera position to be a point on the surface of the sphere and the camera target to be the center of the bounding box calculated in step 2.
- Use a MATLAB script to update the camera position and target during simulation based on the position and motion of the system.
