Fixed focal length, wide angle lens that maintains its effective focal length and imaging quality with change in temperature. First through tenth lenses over three lens groups collaborate to create a fixed effective focal length that fluctuates less than one micron over the temperature range due to thermal stabilization of the lens system.

A system includes a camera for capturing a first panorama view. The system determines a first bearing of a person within the first panorama view, and a first gaze direction of the person within the first panorama view. The system receives, from an external source, a second panorama view, a second bearing of the person within the second panorama view, and a second gaze direction of the person within the second panorama view. The system selects, by comparing the first gaze direction and the second gaze direction, a selected panorama view and a selected bearing of the person. The system forms a localized subscene video signal based on the selected panorama view along the selected bearing of the person. The system generates a stage view signal based on the localized subscene video signal and composites a composited signal comprising the stage view signal.

A system includes a camera (100a) for capturing a first panorama view. The system determines a first bearing (Bla, B2a, B3a) of a person (Ml, M2, M3) within the first panorama view, and a first gaze direction (G) of the person within the first panorama view. The system receives, from an external source (100b), a second panorama view, a second bearing (Bib, B2b, B3b) of the person within the second panorama view, and a second gaze direction of the person within the second panorama view. The system selects, by comparing the first gaze direction and the second gaze direction, a selected panorama view and a selected bearing of the person. The system forms a localized subscene video signal based on the selected panorama view along the selected bearing of the person. The system generates a stage view signal based on the localized subscene video signal, and composites a composited signal comprising the stage view signal.
A system or method for imaging a panorama view may include a physical writing surface, a camera capturing the panorama view, and a sensor identifying a bearing of interest within the view. The system may maintain a coordinate map of the view, adjust an aspect ratio of the view, and generate a scaled panorama view based on the adjusted aspect ratio. The system may determine a coordinate of a designated view based on coordinate instructions and may generate a designated view signal based on the determined coordinate of the designated view comprising at least a portion of the physical writing surface. The system may composite a video signal including one or more of the scaled panorama view signal, a stage view signal, or the designated view signal, and may transmit the composite video signal.
A system for imaging a panorama view including a physical writing surface (WB) includes a camera (100a) capturing the panorama view and a sensor identifying a bearing of interest (B1, WBV1, B2, B3) within the view. The system maintains a coordinate map of the view, adjusts an aspect ratio of the view, and generates a scaled panorama view based on the adjusted aspect ratio. The system also determines a coordinate of a designated view based on coordinate instructions and generates a designated view signal based on the determined coordinate of the designated view comprising at least a portion of the physical writing surface. The system composites a video signal including one or more of the scaled panorama view signal, a stage view signal, or the designated view signal, and transmits the composite video signal.
