Patent ID: 8736680

Claim:
A system comprising: a first camera operable to capture omnidirectional images and send an omnidirectional-image data stream representing the omnidirectional images; a second camera operable to capture narrow-view images and send a narrow-view-image data stream representing the narrow-view images; a video processor coupled to the first camera and the second camera and operable to: as the omnidirectional-image data stream and the narrow-view-image data stream are received, identify a relevant image portion of at least one of the omnidirectional-image data stream and the narrow-view-image data stream; remove, from the at least one of the omnidirectional-image data stream and the narrow-view-image data stream, image data that is not contained within the relevant image portion; form a combined-image data stream using at least part of the omnidirectional-image data and the narrow-view-image data; and wherein the combined-image data stream replaces the removed image data with other image data selected from one or more of the omnidirectional-image data stream and the narrow-view-image data stream; a display module interoperably coupled to the video processor and operable to display combined images from the combined-image data stream; and wherein the combined images each comprise a narrow-view-display portion and an omnidirectional-display portion.
