Development and Evaluation of Operation Assist System for Remote Control by Using the Method of Generating Multiple Viewpoints

Abstract

Unmanned construction is used to recover from natural disasters in environment expecting secondary disaster. This construction method provides bird's-eye view of multiple viewpoints for operator using a lot of camera images. Therefore, this construction method has problem that increase communication throughput and delay camera images. In this research, we are developing multiple viewpoints of overall bird's-eye view that reduce communication traffic-volume, by superimposing a 3D model of construction machine on an omnidirectional image. In this paper, we describe the result of experiment about generating multiple viewpoints using a construction machine, and show validity of overall bird's-eye view using aerial image in indoor environment.
