Patent Images
1. An image capture device comprising:
- an array of more than one image sensor;
computer readable memory bearing one or more program instructions;
a wireless communication interface; and
at least one computer processor configured to execute the one or more program instructions to perform operations including at least;
capturing a scene through use of the array of more than one image sensor;
receiving a request via the wireless communication interface for a particular zoom level view of the scene;
identifying one or more pixels of the scene that correspond to the particular zoom level view;
decimating prior to transmission at least some of the one or more pixels that correspond to the particular zoom level view to result in one or more remaining pixels that correspond to the particular zoom level view, the decimating being to an extent that depends upon a field of view size of the particular zoom level view; and
transmitting via the wireless communication interface the one or more remaining pixels that correspond to the particular zoom level view.
