Abstract
A virtual flying camera system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system includes: a video buffer configured to store input video streams from a plurality of cameras; and a video processor configured to generate an output video stream from the input video streams. The input video streams include a plurality of input video frames, each of the plurality of input video frames includes at least a partial image of a moving target. The output video stream includes a plurality of output video frames, each of the plurality of output video frames is generated by shifting a corresponding input video stream to position the moving target at a desired location within the output video frame, The output video stream is playable at a user-adjustable speed showing a view of a virtually flying camera that follows the moving target at the desired location within each of the plurality of output video frames.
