  • Patent number: 9065996
    Abstract: The invention relates to a surveillance system having an image recording means for recording optically distorted images and having a transmission means for transmission of image information from the image recording means to a reproduction means which reproduces, in an undistorted form, image details of the images which have been recorded with optical distortion. In this connection, it is provided that the transmission means is designed for detail transmission of distorted images and for joint transmission of additional information, which allows image detail distortion to be corrected, in order to allow distortion correction in the reproduction means.

  • Publication number: 20120081563
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying camera images on a remote, mobile viewing device, the viewing device having a screen with a different number of pixels in the longitudinal and transverse directions, a position sensor for determining an orientation of the viewing device and a request means for requesting camera image data from the camera arranged such that it is remote from the mobile viewing device. In this case, provision is made for the position sensor to first of all be used to determine whether the screen is oriented for displaying a portrait or landscape image, for an item of information based on the orientation detected using the position sensor to be transmitted from the mobile viewing device to the camera in order to request a camera image formatted in accordance with the portrait or landscape orientation from the remote camera via a bidirectional communication channel, and for the camera image to be received and displayed in the corresponding screen orientation.
