The Interactive, Computer-Enhanced, Remote Viewing System (ICERVS) is a system 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 faithful 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 textural comments; and Easy export of data to robotic world models for robot guidance.
