An effect of a large overlapped area of stereo pairs at the working point an a spatial multi-resolution stereoscopic video system

Abstract

Teleoperation is a very useful technique in the case of carrying out tasks in hazardous and/or remote sites. In order to carry out the tasks in high operational efficiency, a video system to display the workspace for an operator is important. In this study, we developed a spatial multi-resolution stereoscopic video system which has variable convergence point, and confirmed the effect of keeping an overlapped area large at the working point by varying the convergence point continuously with the spatial multi-resolution stereoscopic video system.As the results of this experiment, it was clarified that the operational efficiency with teleoperation through the spatial multiresolution stereoscopic video system was improved by keeping an overlapped area large, which resulted from varying the convergence point. That is, in order to carry out tasks with teleoperation in high operational efficiency, the system is required to vary its convergence point to keep an overlapped area large.

Assessment of Stereoscopic Multi-resolution Images for a Virtual Reality System

“…The other strategy is to combine high-resolution images and wide-angle images obtained using existing devices. Dual-resolution video systems have been proposed (e.g., [5][6][7][8]). In these systems, high-resolution images taken with telephotographic cameras are inserted into low-resolution images taken with pantoscopic cameras, and the combined images are displayed at the full size on the monitor.…”
