 <http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/595M/talk_3.html> Virtualization of Outdoor Scene
Using an Omnidirectional Multi-camera System

 

Time: Friday 2:00-3:30pm

Location: Webb 1100 (east of Davidson Library )

 

Abstract:

Virtualizing real world into computational form enables us to extend our
field of activity. One of materialization of this concept is telepresence
systems providing a rich sense of presence in a remote site. This sense can
be created by reproducing our field of view. The main problems in this field
are always how to improve and evaluate the sense. My approach to improve the
sense of presence is to use high-resolution and wide-field-of-view videos
acquired with an omnidirectional multi-camera system. In this presentation,
first, I will introduce my early research: calibration of this camera system
and presentation of such videos for telepresence. Next, I will show my
ongoing research: measurement of vergence eye movement for evaluation of the
sense of self linear acceleration.

 

Bio:

Sei IKEDA is an assistant professor in Nara Institute of Science and
Technology, Japan, where he conducts research and educates in computer
vision and mixed reality. He received Ph.D. degrees in engineering from the
same institute in 2006 and a graduate degree in science from Hiroshima
University in 2001. During 2003-2006, he was a research fellow (21COE) of
Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science. His research interests
include omnidirectional camera, 3D computer vision and telepresence.
