ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed that track movement or a moving object through a warped video image. The warped video image can result from a video camera attached to a warping lens such as a wide-angle lens or panoramic lens. Some embodiments allow a user to select the portion of the image that interests the user for tracking. Other embodiments automatically select and track movement through the warped video image without input from a user. Still other embodiments track when movement comes into proximity with an area-of-interest and will raise an alarm that can be used to start recording of the warped video image or to trigger other alarm responses. Yet other embodiments change the bandwidth allocated to portions of the warped video image sent over a network responsive to the tracked movement so that the movement stays in a quality view.
