Abstract
A system for recognizing and magnifying an object of interest. The system includes a camera unit and a video processor operable to control the camera unit and detect the object of interest within a field of view of the camera unit. Responsive to detection by the video processor of the object of interest, the system zooms in on the object of interest, captures an image of the object of interest, and zooms out.
