1. A computer implemented method of performing adaptive image acquisition comprising: capturing images from at least one sensor, where the at least one sensor produces a higher resolution image and a lower resolution image; and using at least one microprocessor for: registering the images from the at least one sensor; creating a virtual view of a scene imaged by the at least one imaging sensor using the registered images; and enabling a user to indirectly control the at least one imaging sensor while viewing the virtual view.
