Abstract:
In some implementations, a camera captures a video stream of a region of a business without panning or tilting, where the camera includes a field of view that identifies a portion of the region that is captured. An analytics system optionally analyzes the video stream to determine a path of a customer moving across the camera's field of view. In selected embodiments, an image display system can extract a subset of the video stream, where the subset of the video stream depicts the customer during substantially all of the customer's movement across the camera's field of view. A public facing monitor may present the subset of the video stream such that the system effectively emulates the output of a pan, tilt, zoom camera that is tracking the customer across the field of view.
