Abstract
An imaging system includes a video camera having a wide field of view lens, an imaging sensor operable to form a first image having a first pixel area, and an interface operable to receive commands from a host entertainment device. The video camera is operable to receive a command requesting at least one secondary image having a second pixel area for a 3D mapping of a portion of the first image. The system includes a graphics processor operable to perform the 3D mapping to generate the at least one each secondary image from the first image. The 3D mapping transforms a section of the first image depicting a surface having a normal in a first direction to form a secondary image in which the normal of that surface faces directly out of the secondary image.
