Abstract
It is important for an operator to easily understand surroundings of a mobile robot in mobile robot teleoperation. We propose a wide field of view imaging method using plural cameras in this paper. When images captured plural cameras are combined to one panoramic image, the parts of images are overlapped. The each overlap area is estimated by ultrasonic distance sensors. The combined images help the teleoperation to be improved. Some experimental results reveal the validity and effectiveness of our proposed wide field of view imaging method.
