Abstract
A process for identifying a person, object, or entity (POE) of interest outside of a moving vehicle includes first receiving, from a camera coupled to the vehicle, a video stream having a field-of-view (FOV) of an area surrounding the vehicle. A first trigger is detected associated with a vehicle occupant's indicated desire to capture a portion of the video stream. A selected FOV sub-portion of the video stream less than then an entire captured FOV of the video stream is identified as a function of the trigger or a separate electronic sensor input. A second trigger is detected indicative of the vehicle occupant's indicated desire to stop capturing the portion of the video stream. The video stream is then sub-selected in time and FOV as a function of the foregoing to create a second modified video stream and provided to a target device for display.
