Integrated Computer-Enhanced Remote Viewing System. Quarterly report No. 3, April--June 1993
The Interactive, Computer-Enhanced, Remote Viewing System (ICERVS) is designed to provide a reliable geometric description of a robotic task space in a fashion that enables robotic remediation to be carried out more efficiently and economically that with present systems. The key elements are a robust way to store empirical data and a friendly user interface that provides an operator with timely access to all that is known about a scene. ICERVS will help an operator to analyze a scene and generate additional geometric data for automating significant portions of the remediation activity. Features that enable this include the following: storage and display of empirical sensor data; ability to update segments of the geometric description of the task space; side-by-side comparisons of a live TV scene and a computer generated view of the same scene; ability to create and display computer models of perceived objects in the task space, together with textual comments; and easy export of data to robotic world models for robot guidance. Phase 1 of this project was essentially completed in the month of June. Phase 1 (Level III) of this project focuses on the development of the Data Library, which contains the geometric data about the task space and the object in it, and the Toolkit, which includes the mechanisms for manipulating and displaying both empirical and model data.
