Abstract
The invention concerns an electronic device equipped with a video imaging process capability, which device includes a camera unit arranged to produce image frames from an imaging view which includes a region-of-interest ROI, an adjustable optics arranged in connection with the camera unit in order to focus the ROI on the camera unit, an identifier unit in order to identify a ROI from the image frame, a tracking unit in order to track the ROI from the image frames during the video imaging process and an auto-focus unit arranged to analyze the ROI on the basis of the tracking results provided by the tracking unit in order to adjust the optics. The device is arranged to determine the spatial position of the ROI in the produced image frame without any estimation measures.
