Abstract
This paper describes a new camera arrangement method for bird's-eye view systems of teleoperated robots in case of camera troubles. Our proposed system provides a bird's-eye view image that helps an operator understand the surroundings easily and teleoperate the robot more accurately. The image is created by synthesizing multiple images captured by the cameras that are attached to the teleoperated robot. With a conventional method, if a camera does not work well, blind spots occur in the bird's-eye view image. In this paper, a method of camera arrangement that improves reliability of bird's-eye view systems is proposed, and the experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
