System and method for a software steerable web camera with multiple image subset capture
First Claim
1. A method of controlling the capture of an image of an object in a camera field of vision, the method comprising:
- storing, in an image collection army, data of a scene within the field of vision of a wide-angle lens;
storing, in memory, digitized data of the scene within the field of vision;
selecting a plurality of subsets of the digitized data of the scene;
performing distortion compensation on each of the plurality of subsets of the digitized data of the scene to correct for distortion caused by the wide-angle lens; and
transmitting individually each of the subsets of distortion compensated digitized data to a destination device for simultaneous display thereon.

Abstract
An apparatus for controlling the capture of an image of an object, includes: a lens capable to capture a scene within a wide field of vision of the lens; an image collection array communicatively coupled to the lens and capable to store data of the scene within the wide field of vision; a memory communicatively coupled to the image collection array and capable to store digitized data of the scene within the wide field of vision; and a processing stage communicatively coupled to the memory and capable to select a plurality of subsets of the digitized data of the scene in order to generate an image of the captured scene.
