Abstract: The subject of the invention is a succession of images in the form of a sequence representing a circling effect substantially around an object of interest (OI). A plurality of l video cameras (CAM1-CAM16) fixed in position and in adjustment are provided to capture, in wide field but at different respective shot angles, a fixed scene, in which the object of interest moves. Different images acquired by the video cameras are gatherered. After the acquired images are readjusted amongst themselves thanks to predetermined markers in the image, a sequence is constructed by concatenation of the acquired images with an order of images in the sequence corresponding to an order of positions of the video cameras along a line.

Abstract: For displaying a selected zone of images belonging to a sequence of video images, each in the form of a matrix of pixels, on a display unit, a signal is generated by a fixed large-field camera having a definition that is greater than that of the display unit. A TV user or an operator at a control station selects a zone of format corresponding to that of the display unit in a field of view of the camera. The pixels of a modified image having the size and definition of the display unit are generated by interpolation from the pixels in the selected zone of the image supplied by the large-field camera. A device for implementing the method includes a module for warping the selected zone by operations of interpolation and resampling.
