Description of the Prior Art In public buildings, shopping malls, convenience stores, banks or even houses, a security video surveillance system with fixed, or passive video cameras is very common. The video camera is capable of monitoring and recording people, vehicle or the like whose (or which) come and go within a specific area by a wide-angle lens provided to the video camera. When an accident happened or a crime is committed, or some specific needs occurred, the video tapes or other recording media recorded everything that happened by a video camera can be retrieved and reviewed so as to identify the recorded Image or to prosecute one's criminal acts.
However, when the conventional video surveillance system is used, since the video camera of the video surveillance system Is merely recording fixed wideangle images within a specific area with a wide-angle lens, the images of the specific moving target recorded on the video tapes or other recording media tend to be small and blurred and are often cant be identified clearly. In particular, when the recorded wide-angle images are too complicated to identify in details, the purpose of surveillance and recording thereof will be hard to satisfy.
