7. A method of processing video obtained by a scanning-capable sensing unit, comprising:
-
operating the sensing unit in a scanning mode to scan for a target of interest;
processing image data from the sensing unit in a scanning mode to detect the presence of an interesting target in a first view; and
upon detecting an interesting target, operating a scanning-capable sensing unit in an acquisition mode to obtain a second view to provide a closer view of the target than said first view. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
