Abstract
In one embodiment, an embedded device is provided which comprises a region of interest defining mechanism to define a region of interest (ROI) within an image. A transformation mechanism of the embedded device applies a nonlinear magnification or pinching transformation to the region of interest such that magnification or pinching within the region of interest varies from a greater amount at a focal point of the region of interest to a lesser amount at an outer border of the region of interest.
