Abstract
Subimages are provided to remote sites by an image access system having an image sensor for sensing an image, and an image processing system for generating subimages from the sensed image. Users at a plurality of remotes sites can access the image access system, and can select a portion of the sensed image that they wish to view. The image sensor can be a sensor array for viewing a field of interest, and the users at the remote sites can pan and zoom electronically through the sensed image to select the subimage that they wish to view.
