NETWORK PANORAMIC CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention provides a 360 degree panoramic IP network camera system (100). Analog panoramic data is obtained by an imaging subsystem (102), which is then digitized, processed, encoded, and streamed by a control subsystem (104) in accordance with user input through, a graphical user interface (105). Access to and control of the imaging data may be provided through a web server. The web server enables users across a network to access the imaging data via a web browser-based user interface (106). Different types and configurations of panoramic images may be generated, processed, stored and displayed for use in a wide variety of application. A video analyzer (136) may also be employed for post processing of data to direct image capture and other information gathering.
