A Solid-State, Simultaneous Wide Angle - Detailed View Video Surveillance Camera

We have developed a simultaneously wide-angle and detailed-view surveillance camera. For the purpose of surveillance, detailed views for suspicious objects are needed. Conventional motorized zoom cameras, however, are fragile and provide only a small region-of-interest at a time. We propose a system which is capable of obtaining wide-range views as well as detailed views of multiple regions of interest simultaneously. We present a prototype solid-state system based on a CMOS random access image sensor array. The system outputs a wide-angle, low-resolution view for monitoring the entire scene. If moving objects enter the scene, the system outputs detailed views of all objects in addition to the wide-angle view.
