IMAGE CAPTURE SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A video capture system configured to capture video sequences of a subject during an activity, the video capture system comprising:
- an image capture device positioned at a predetermined location in an activity area;
a tracking device configured to track a location of the subject during the activity;
a content storage device communicatively coupled to the video capture device and configured to store video content received from the video capture device; and
a content assembly device communicatively coupled to the content storage device and to the tracking device, and configured to use tracking information from the tracking device to retrieve video sequences of the subject from the content storage device and to assemble the retrieved video sequences into a composite subject video.
