Panoramic Movie Generation Using an Omnidirectional Multi-camera System for Telepresence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Telepresence systems using an omnidirectional image sensor enable us to experience remote sites with rich sensation. An omnidirec-tional multi-camera system is more useful to acquire high-resolution om-nidirectional images of outdoor scenes than a monocular camera system. However, exact calibration of the camera system is necessary to generate a panoramic movie. In this paper, we describe a panoramic movie generation method based on geometric and photometric calibration of the omnidirectional multi-camera system. Some prototypes of telepresence system are also shown as applications of generated panoramic movies. These high-resolution telepresence systems have been proven to enable us to experience remote sites with high presence.

متن کاملOmnidirectional Sensing and Its Applications
The goal of this paper is to present a critical survey of existing literature on an omnidirectional sensing. The area of vision application such as autonomous robot navigation, telepresence and virtual reality is expanding by use of a camera with a wide angle of view. In particular, a real-time omnidirectional camera with a single center of projection is suitable for analyzing and monitoring, b...
متن کاملTelepresence System Using High-Resolution Omnidirectional Movies and a Reactive Display
This paper describes a novel telepresence system that uses high-resolution movies and a reactive display system with a treadmill. In this system, users can walk through a virtualized environment by actually walking on a treadmill. According to walking motion which is detected by using 3-D position sensors put on both legs, the virtualized environment captured by an omnidirectional multi-camera ...

A telepresence system using real environment images is expected to be used in a number of fields such as entertainment, medicine and education. This paper describes a novel telepresence system which enables users to walk through a photorealistic virtualized environment by actual walking. To realize such a system, a wide-angle high-resolution video is projected on an immersive multi-screen displ...
متن کاملVideo Completion for Generating Omnidirectional Video without Invisible Areas
Omnidirectional multi-camera systems cannot capture entire fields of view because of their inability to view areas directly below them. Such invisible areas in omnidirectional video decrease the resulting realistic sensation experienced when using a telepresence system. In this study, we generate omnidirectional video without invisible areas using an image completion technique. The proposed met...
