In this paper, we propose a tele-operation system with a super wide field of view (FOV). Our teleoperation system has an omnidirectional image sensor for capturing a panoramic image and a personal spherical screen display for projecting a wide-angle image. The first original contribution is applying our system to navigating the mobile robot by tele-operation and evaluating efficiency of wide FO...

An eye-contact display and camera system for video telephony is described in which a video camera looks through a conventional active matrix LC display. By removing the rear polarizer from the display, the camera can look through the display without seeing the information on the display. Display/camera multiplexing and color are achieved via a polarized projection illumination system. Color tri...

Many handheld devices have been developed in the mobile industry. Most mobile devices in the market are carried Android operating system. Android also supports many other hardware components that increase mobile devices functionality. The operating system can be used for multimedia, touch screen, number of types of sensors and 2D/3D graphics. Due to open source license, many manufactures integr...

We have developed a mobile vision assistive device based on a head mounted display (HMD) with a video camera, which provides image magnification and contrast enhancement for patients with central field loss (CFL). Because the exposure level of the video camera is usually adjusted according to the overall luminance of the scene, the contrast of sub-images (to be magnified) may be low. We found t...

This paper describes a specific Distributed Display Environment (DDE) developed for a Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) system. A mini LCD screen is used to display surgical guidance information. The resulting DDE is described according to a multimodal viewpoint. Author

Large screen displays are a common feature of modern meeting rooms, conference halls, and classrooms. The large size and often high resolution of these displays make them inherently suitable for collaborative work, but these attributes cause traditional windowing systems to become difficult to use because the interaction handles become smaller in visual space and in motor space. This may be exa...

Title of Document: DEVELOPING A DISPLAY SCREEN CORRELATION METRIC FOR THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS Joshua Benjamin Dinaburg, Master’s of Science, 2007 Directed By: Dr. Gregory Jackson, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation to semi-quantitatively determine the thermal profile of the surroundings. Previously, no standard performance measurement...

This paper describes our time-multiplexed 3-D display technology, which allows groups of viewers to see full stereo with kineopsis (lookaround capability) without the use of any eye or head gear. We detail the constructions of our latest 50-inch screen prototype, which is brighter and has higher resolution than our 25-inch prototype presented previously. The time-multiplexed concept allows the ...
