Title
Stereoscopic video images for telerobotic applications
Abstract
This article addresses the use of stereoscopic images in teleoperated tasks. Depth perception is a key point in the ability to skillfully manipulate in remote environments. Displaying three-dimensional images is a complex process but it is possible to design a teleoperation interface that displays stereoscopic images to assist in manipulation tasks. The appropriate interface for image viewing must be chosen and the stereoscopic video cameras must be calibrated so that the image disparity is natural for the observer. Attention is given to the calculation of stereoscopic image disparity, and suggestions are made as to the limits within which adequate stereoscopic image perception takes place. The authors have designed equipment for image visualization in teleoperated systems. These devices are described and their performance evaluated. Finally, an architecture for the transmission of stereoscopic video images via network is proposed, which in the future will substitute for current image processing devices. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
