Abstract

A method and wearable camera for encoding video captured by a wearable camera determines a centre of rotation for an image frame to be encoded. The centre of rotation relates to a rotation of the wearable camera at the time of capturing the video and the image frame comprises multiple groups of pixels. Furthermore, compression levels are set for the multiple groups of pixels of the image frame. The compression levels for the multiple groups of pixels of the image frame are set such that a level of compression increases with a radial distance from the centre of rotation. The image frame is encoded using the compression levels.
