Abstract
A data-storage method includes capturing video data, identifying an object of which a high-resolution image is desired, the object being represented by a subset of the captured video data, compressing, to a first resolution, the subset of the captured video data, and compressing, to a second resolution, data of the captured video data other than the subset of the captured video data. According to the method, the first resolution is greater than the second resolution. The method further includes storing the compressed video data.
Claims18
A data-storage method comprising:
- capturing video data;
- identifying an object of which a high-resolution image is desired, the object being represented by a subset of the captured video data;
- compressing, to a first resolution, the subset of the captured video data;
- compressing, to a second resolution, data of the captured video data other than the subset of the captured video data;
- wherein the first resolution is greater than the second resolution;
- and
- storing the compressed video data.
An article of manufacture for data storage, the article of manufacture comprising:
- at least one computer readable medium;
- processor instructions contained on at least one computer readable medium, the processor instructions configured to be readable from the at least one computer readable medium by at least one processor and thereby cause the at least one processor to operate as to perform the following steps:
- capturing video data;
- identifying an object of which a high-resolution image is desired, the object being represented by a subset of the captured video data;
- compressing, to a first resolution, the subset of the captured video data;
- compressing, to a second resolution, data of the captured video data other than the subset of the captured video data;
- wherein the first resolution is greater than the second resolution;
- and
- storing the compressed video data.
