Abstract:
An omnidirectional camera is presented. The camera comprises: at least one lens coupled to an image sensor, a controller coupled to the image sensor, and a movement detection element coupled to the controller. The movement detection element is configured to detect a speed and direction of movement of the camera, the camera is configured to capture images via the at least one lens coupled to the image sensor, and the controller is configured to select a digital viewpoint in the captured images. A central point of the digital viewpoint is selected on the basis of direction of movement, and a field of view of the digital viewpoint is based on the speed of movement. A system and method are also presented.
