A digital image capture device streams captured images (e.g. low-resolution images) to a remote viewer terminal, along with image identifiers and/or device position information. The remote viewer terminal displays the images for viewing by a remote viewer. The remote viewer provides inputs to a user interface, which indicate a direction of desired movement of the image capture device, and/or that the remote viewer wants new images (e.g. high-resolution images) to be captured at a desired position. The user interface inputs are translated into requests, which are transmitted to the image capture device. The image capture device provides movement prompts that direct a device operator to move the device in a requested direction or toward a requested position. When a position of the device corresponds to a requested image capture position, the image capture device captures one or more new images, and transmits the new images to the remote viewer terminal.

A multiple video stream capture and encoding apparatus produces compressed data that represents multiple video streams capturing a common scene. Inages from multiple video streams are analyzed to identify image color segments that are encoded into a composite graph data structure. Corresponding image segments across the multiple video streams are also identified and represented by one node in the composite graph data structure. The composite graph data structure also includes links between pairs of nodes that describe the relationship between the image segments associated with those nodes. The composite graph data structure is updated to represent changes to the image segments in the multiple video streams over time. The composite graph data structure is used to create compressed encoded data for storage and/or transmission.

Various embodiments of the invention provide a facility for monitoring audio events on a computer, including without limitation voice conversations (which often are carried on a digital transport platform, such as VoIP and/or other technologies). In a set of embodiments, a system intercepts the audio streams that flow into and out of an application program on a monitored client computer, for instance by inserting an audio stream capture program between a monitored application and the function calls in the audio driver libraries used by the application program to handle the audio streams. In some cases, this intercept does not disrupt the normal operation of the application. Optionally, the audio stream capture program takes the input and output audio streams and passes them through audio mixer and audio compression programs to yield a condensed recording of the original conversation.
