Patent ID: 8488001

Claim:
A method comprising: providing a first camera with a first field of view; providing a second camera with a second field of view, wherein the second camera is a pan, tilt, zoom camera; receiving a bounding box drawn around a target in the first field of view, the bounding box identifies the target within the first field of view; determining an optical center of the target for use in the second field of view from a set of corner features of the bounding box; determining a magnification ratio between the target located in the first field of view relative to the second field of view that prevents the bounding box from migrating off of the second field of view; determining a pan and tilt model that provides a predetermined relationship between first camera coordinates of the bounding box and pan and tilt values to position the second camera with a center of the second field of view coincident with the optical center; capturing the target in the first field of view; and controlling the second camera to record the target in the second field of view with the second field of view being an enhanced view relative to the first field of view, wherein the first camera and the second camera operate in a master-slave arrangement such that the first camera controls at least one of pan, tilt, or zoom of the second camera.
