The present system and method for adjusting an image for a vehicle mounted camera overcomes and alleviates the problems and disadvantages in the prior art by providing an adjustable image that adjusts in response to at least one vehicle mounted sensor.

In exemplary embodiments, telemetry of a vehicle from a plurality of sensors may be used to automatically adjust an image, e.g. an image horizon, in a desired way.

In other exemplary embodiments, data from at least one sensor is… Show more

The present system and method for adjusting an image for a vehicle mounted camera overcomes and alleviates the problems and disadvantages in the prior art by providing an adjustable image that adjusts in response to at least one vehicle mounted sensor.

In exemplary embodiments, telemetry of a vehicle from a plurality of sensors may be used to automatically adjust an image, e.g. an image horizon, in a desired way.

In other exemplary embodiments, data from at least one sensor is used to automatically adjust an image horizon to match a skyline horizon during tilting of a vehicle.

In other exemplary embodiments, both image horizon and zoom are automatically adjusted during tilting of a vehicle.

In exemplary embodiments, such image horizon adjustment may be provided as a digital video effect, alleviating the need to actually adjust the angle of a camera during vehicle tilt.

The above and other exemplary embodiments will be discussed in more detail below in the detailed description of the invention. Show less

A system and method for selective capture of and presentation of native image portions are provided. In a first embodiment a first image or video is captured at a first resolution, which resolution is greater than high definition and higher than a predetermined broadcast display resolution. A desired portion of the native, first image or video is then displayed at a second, lower resolution, which resolution is less than and closer to the predetermined broadcast display resolution. Accordingly,… Show more

A system and method for selective capture of and presentation of native image portions are provided. In a first embodiment a first image or video is captured at a first resolution, which resolution is greater than high definition and higher than a predetermined broadcast display resolution. A desired portion of the native, first image or video is then displayed at a second, lower resolution, which resolution is less than and closer to the predetermined broadcast display resolution. Accordingly, a selected portion of the captured image may be displayed at or near the predetermined broadcast display resolution (i.e., minimizing or eliminating loss of image detail relative to the predetermined broadcast display resolution). In other exemplary embodiments, video is captured at a first frame rate that is higher than a predetermined broadcast frame rate, and an extraction window extracts frames from a portion of the native, first video to provide improved broadcast quality of the portion(s) selected by the extraction window.

The above described presents an improved system and method for tracking and tagging objects of interest in a broadcast. While the following is described in reference various, the present disclosure is not so limited. Indeed, the present disclosure relates more generally to tracking and tagging of any kind of objects, inclusive of highlighting of objects and overlays of information, such as distance, projected trajectories, and environmental conditions, such as wind, heat and terrain.
