Abstract: A suitable imaging device for capturing images of an object or an area of interest may be automatically selected based on information regarding the locations and/or other operational properties of a plurality of imaging devices, and a location of the object or the area of interest. One or more geometric models of the fields of view of the imaging devices may be generated, and whether the object or the area of interest falls within one or more of the fields of view may be determined using such models. Where multiple imaging devices may include the object or the area of interest, within a field of view, the imaging device having the most suitable image, e.g., the largest or highest resolution image of the object or the area of interest, may be selected.

Abstract translation: 可以基于关于多个成像设备的位置和/或其他操作属性以及对象或感兴趣区域的位置的信息来自动选择用于捕获对象或感兴趣区域的图像的合适的成像设备。 可以生成成像装置的视野的一个或多个几何模型，并且可以使用这些模型来确定对象或感兴趣区域是否落入一个或多个视场内。 在多个成像装置可以包括物体或感兴趣区域的视场内，可以选择具有最合适图像的成像装置，例如对象或感兴趣区域的最大或最高分辨率图像。
