  • Publication number: 20020131773
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method which allows a camera to be pre-positioned at a given location and the field of view adjusted on a picture by picture basis such that the subject of the picture is centered within the field of view and such that the focal length of the camera lens is optimal for the particular picture. Using this system and method a movable sensor would be positioned at the image to be captured and the camera would effectively swivel to align itself with that trigger based upon translation of signals received from that trigger. Additionally, information obtained from the movable trigger may be used to adjust its field of view via optical and/or digital zoom.
