Abstract

A system and method of displaying a first part of a view captured by two or more image sensors in one or more first pixel resolutions, and a second part of a view captured by such image sensors in a second one or more pixel resolutions.

Claims (34)

1 . A system comprising:

a plurality of image sensors; and

a processor to

reference to a segment of a model of a view, a plurality of pixels captured by a first of said plurality of image sensors at a first resolution;

reference to said segment of said model of said view, a plurality of pixels captured by a second of said image sensors at a second resolution, wherein said second resolution is a different resolution that said first resolution;

display a first part of said segment of said view in a first scale, said display of said first part of said segment having a first plurality of resolutions; and

display a second part of said segment of said view in a second scale, having a second plurality of resolutions.

2 . The system as in claim 1 , where said processor is to accept an instruction from an input device to alter a stitch of said view captured by said first image sensor and of said view captured by said second image sensor.

3 . The system as in claim 1 , wherein a physical position of said first image sensor is not calibrated to a position of said second image sensor.

4 . The system as in claim 1 , wherein said processor is to alter said second scale in response to a signal from an input device.

5 . The system as in claim 1 , wherein said image sensor is selected from the group consisting of a digital video camera, a digital still camera, an analog video camera, an analog still camera, an infra red sensor, a radar sensor and an X-ray sensor.

6 . The system as in claim 1 , wherein said image sensor is a pan-tilt-zoom camera.

7 . The system as in claim 1 , wherein said segment comprises less than all of said view.

8 . The processor as in claim 1 , wherein said processor is to define said first part in response to a signal from an input device.

9 . A method comprising:

referencing to a segment of a model of a view, a plurality of pixels captured by a first of a plurality of image sensors at a first resolution;

referencing to said segment of said model of said view, a plurality of pixels captured by a second of said image sensors at a second resolution;

displaying a first part of said segment of said view in a first scale, said display of said first part of said segment having a first plurality of resolutions; and

displaying a second part of said segment of said view in a second scale, having a second plurality of resolutions.

10 . The method as in claim 9 , comprising accepting an instruction from an input device to alter a stitch of said view captured by said first image sensor and of said view captured by said second image sensor.

11 . The method as in claim 9 , comprising calibrating an image from said first image sensor and said second image sensor on said model.

12 . The method as in claim 9 , comprising altering said second scale in response to a signal from an input device.

13 . The method as in claim 9 , comprising zooming an optical lens of said first image sensor.

14 . The method as in claim 9 , comprising displaying less than all of an image captured by said image sensors.

15 . The method as in claim 9 , defining a boundary of said first part in response to a signal from an input device.

16 . A storage device including a medium have stored thereon a series of instructions that when executed result in:

referencing to a segment of a model of a view, a plurality of pixels captured by a first of a plurality of image sensors at a first resolution;

referencing to said segment of said model of said view, a plurality of pixels captured by a second of said image sensors at a second resolution;

displaying a first part of said segment of said view in a first scale, said display of said first part of said segment having a first plurality of resolutions; and

displaying a second part of said segment of said view in a second scale, having a second plurality of resolutions.

17 . The device as in claim 16 , having instructions that when executed further result in accepting an instruction from an input device to alter a stitch of said view captured by said first image sensor and of said view captured by said second image sensor.

18 . The device as in claim 16 , having instructions that when executed further result in calibrating an image from said first image sensor and said second image sensor on said model.

19 . The device as in claim 16 , having instructions that when executed further result in altering said second scale in response to a-signal from an input device.

20 . The device as in claim 16 , having instructions that when executed further result in zooming an optical lens said first image sensor.
