Abstract:
Implementations generally relate to locking a camera onto a sub-region to capture images of the sub-region with a moving camera. In some implementations, a method includes determining a first region in a scene detected by a camera while the camera is in a first physical position. The method further includes receiving user input to target a sub-region within the first capture region of the scene and capturing the first image of the sub-region while the camera is in the first physical position. The first image is displayed in a fixed orientation on a preview portion of a display screen. The camera is moved to a second physical position and a second capture region of the scene is detected. The method further includes capturing a second image is of the sub-region and displaying it in the fixed orientation on the preview portion of the display screen. The second image is effective to inform a user of whether capture of the sub-region is altered by camera movement.

Claim (Index 9):
A computer implemented method comprising:\n determining a capture first region in a scene detected by a camera while the camera is in a first physical position; receiving user input to target a sub-region within the first capture region of the scene, wherein the user input is indicative of the sub-region; determining a first position point of the sub-region based on a plurality of first reference points located at the periphery of the sub-region, wherein each of the plurality of first reference points corresponds with a 3-dimensional location in the scene; capturing, by the camera, a first image of the sub-region while the camera is in the first physical position; tracking the sub-region as the camera moves physical positions; determining a second capture region detected by the camera while the camera is in a second physical position different from the first physical position; determining that the second capture region excludes a portion of the sub-region; determining a second position point of the sub-region within the second capture region while the camera is in the second physical position, wherein the first position point and second position point are at corresponding positions within the sub-region and at different coordinate locations of the scene; determining an updated sub-region including an updated position point and including a plurality of second reference points located at the periphery of the updated sub-region, wherein each of the plurality of second reference points corresponds with a 3-dimensional location in the scene, and wherein the updated position point lies on a straight line mapped between the first position point and the second position point; and capturing a second image of the updated sub-region while the camera is in the second physical position.
