<p>An improved surveillance system which includes a plurality of single lens cameras each of which have a relatively wide angle lens. These single lens cameras simultaneously capture images (505) that can be seamed into a panorama (507). The system also includes a high resolution camera that can be pointed in a selected direction that is within the field of view of the cameras. The image (503) from the high resolution camera is either superimposed (511) on top of the panoramic image or it is displayed on a separate monitor (611). If it is displayed in the panorama, the higher solution image is positioned (609) at the point in the panorama which is displaying the same area in space at a lower resolution. Thus an operator sees a relatively low resolution panorama; however, a selected portion of the panorama is displayed at a high resolution.</p> |
