Patent ID: 6873353

Claim:
A method for displaying a plurality of images of a moving object obtained from a plurality of cameras, the method comprising: placing each of the plurality of cameras is a position to take a respective image different from the images taken by the other cameras; taking images using at least some of the cameras; storing image data from the images in digital image processors; obtaining variation information from the image data, the variation information representing a variation in a sequence of images from at least two of the cameras; comparing the variation information from each of the two cameras to determine a first camera that provided the highest degree of variation in the sequence of images; displaying a single image of the object from the sequence of images received from the first camera; synchronizing the image information representing images received from, at least two other cameras to illustrate the object shown in the single image; defining a first parameter representing distance between at least two of the plurality of cameras and a second parameter representing velocity of the moving object; and providing a user interface comprising a selection area that uses the first and second parameters to represent fewer than all images in the sequence of images from one of the plurality of cameras, the interface further comprising a selection control to select an image in the sequence of images, wherein the number of images represented by the selection area depends on the speed of the moving object and the distance between at least two of the cameras, and wherein images from the at least two cameras are displayed that correspond to the image selected by the selection control.
