An image processor provides a combined image of an object from first and second cameras. The image processor receives a first image from a first camera and a second image from a second camera. The first and second images each include a field of view and metadata associated with the image. The image processor determines whether a combined image of the first and second images will be viewed by a person or a machine. If the combined image is to be processed by a machine, the first and second metadata are included with the combined image and sent to the machine. If the combined image is to be viewed by a person, the combined image includes a subset of the metadata so that the image is not too large or too cluttered.
