Claim One:
1. An image processing system for integrating multi-resolution images using a plurality of multi-resolution image capture devices to extract images from an observed scene, and using a plurality of multi-resolution imaging devices to present a scene image relative to the observed scene by means of integration, comprising: an imaging plane; a wide-angle image capture device, for capturing the observed scene according to a first resolution and producing a wide-angle image (I wide ); a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) image capture device, for capturing the observed scene according to a second resolution, a designated direction, and a focal distance and producing a Pan-Tilt-Zoom image (I PTZ ), wherein the second resolution is higher than the first resolution; a fixed imaging device, for presenting the processed wide-angle image (I wide ) on the imaging plane according to a third resolution, and the processed wide-angle image (I wide ) has at least one reserved region without image information; a steerable imaging device, for presenting the processed Pan-Tilt-Zoom image (I PTZ ) on the imaging plane according to a fourth resolution, and the Pan-Tilt-Zoom image (I PTZ ) is only presented in the reserved region belonging to the presented wide-angle image (I wide ), wherein the fourth resolution is higher than the third resolution; a conversion module, for converting the Pan-Tilt-Zoom image (I PTZ ) to a conversion image (I PTZ-wide ) which belongs to the coordinate system of the wide-angle image capture device based on an image capture device conversion matrix (homography; H wide PTZ ); and an imaging module, for applying the fixed imaging device to present the processed wide-angle image (I wide ) on the imaging plane according to the third resolution, and applying the coordinate system of the steerable imaging device to present the processed Pan-Tilt-Zoom image (I PTZ ) on the imaging plane according to the fourth resolution based on an imaging device conversion matrix (H steer fixed ), and the Pan-Tilt-Zoom image (I PTZ ) is only presented in the reserved region belonging to the presented wide-angle image (I wide ), wherein the scene images relative to the observed scenes are presented by means of integration.
