Abstract: A system includes a camera for capturing a first panorama view. The system determines a first bearing of a person within the first panorama view, and a first gaze direction of the person within the first panorama view. The system receives, from an external source, a second panorama view, a second bearing of the person within the second panorama view, and a second gaze direction of the person within the second panorama view. The system selects, by comparing the first gaze direction and the second gaze direction, a selected panorama view and a selected bearing of the person. The system forms a localized subscene video signal based on the selected panorama view along the selected bearing of the person. The system generates a stage view signal based on the localized subscene video signal, and composites a composited signal comprising the stage view signal.

Abstract: A system or method for imaging a panorama view may include a physical writing surface, a camera capturing the panorama view, and a sensor identifying a bearing of interest within the view. The system may maintain a coordinate map of the view, adjust an aspect ratio of the view, and generate a scaled panorama view based on the adjusted aspect ratio. The system may determine a coordinate of a designated view based on coordinate instructions and may generate a designated view signal based on the determined coordinate of the designated view comprising at least a portion of the physical writing surface. The system may composite a video signal including one or more of the scaled panorama view signal, a stage view signal, or the designated view signal, and may transmit the composite video signal.

Abstract: Wide angle lens for imaging objects disposed away from the optical axis towards the periphery of the field of view.

Abstract: A system for imaging a panorama view including a physical writing surface includes a camera capturing the panorama view and a sensor identifying a bearing of interest within the view. The system maintains a coordinate map of the view, adjusts an aspect ratio of the view, and generates a scaled panorama view based on the adjusted aspect ratio. The system also determines a coordinate of a designated view based on coordinate instructions and generates a designated view signal based on the determined coordinate of the designated view comprising at least a portion of the physical writing surface. The system composites a video signal including one or more of the scaled panorama view signal, a stage view signal, or the designated view signal, and transmits the composite video signal.

Abstract: A densely composited single camera signal may be formed from a panoramic video signal having an aspect ratio of substantially 2.4:1 or greater, captured from a wide camera. Two or more sub-scene video signals are subsampled at respective bearings of interest, and may be composited side-by-side to form a stage scene video signal having an aspect ratio of substantially 2:1 or less. 80% or more of the area of the stage scene video signal may be subsampled from the panoramic video signal.

Abstract: With reference to panoramic video, sub-scenes at bearings of interest within a wide or panoramic video signal substantially coincident with an acoustic sensor array are associated with bearings of interest identified localization of acoustic recognitions and visual recognitions, and widths of the sub-scene video signals may be set according to a signal characteristic of the acoustic recognition or the visual recognition.
