Abstract
A system comprising a video camera and a client device and a method performed therein. The video camera captures a plurality of images concurrently using a plurality of image sensors having partly overlapping fields of views. Overlapping portions of the images are identified, and the images are joined to generate a panorama image. When joining the images, image data is included from only one of the images in overlapping portions, and image data from the other images in the overlapping portions is ignored. The panorama image and the ignored image data is encoded and transmitted to the client device in an encoded video stream. The client device decodes the video stream and, if the client device is customized, it updates the panorama image in portions corresponding to overlapping portions of the plurality of images using the image data that was ignored by the video camera when generating the panorama image.
