Case Study of Live View System using Union-Camera Hiroto HARADA* Koji OKAMURA** *Graduate School of Information Science and Electrical Engineering (ISEE), Kyushu University **Computing and Communications Center, Kyushu University August 28, 2003
Contents • Overview of the demonstration • Union-Camera • vvideo • How to realize the Live View System • Consideration • Conclusion
1.Overview of the demonstaration • We had a demonstration with Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology • We used momomap which integrates fixed-point observation cameras and locational information • User just clicks the point on the map to watch the video of the place.

2.Union-Camera • Union-Camera combines the multiple cameras virtually and provides the same operationality as a single camera.
150 0 User requests 150 degrees
camera2 150 0 camera1 camera3 150 degrees corresponds to 30 degrees of camera2 0 30
camera2 0 Normal Case (without Union-Camera) 150 degrees corresponds to 30 degrees of camera2 150 degrees 30 degrees User Application Application must deal with the correspondence between the degree and camera
The case using Union-Camera Application 150 degrees User operation as a single camera 150 degrees camera2 30 degrees Union-Camera 0 150 degrees corresponds to 30 degrees of camera2
We used VC-C3 made by Canon, and set three VC-C3s at Fukuoka Tower in the shape of triangle. Tilt +25 Pan -90 Pan +90 Tilt -30
2.Union-Camera • Camera-Server • has 3 physical video capture device, and each of them is connected to the camera. • captures from the device which is connected to the selected camera. • Cameras keep taking video. According to the request, proper camera is selected and changes the direction. Then only the video of the selected camera is sent to User.
3.vvideo • Vvideo can offer transparent video capture devices on some network environment • Using vvideo, all of remote video capture devices can be used in the same way as local video capture devices.

5.Consideration • The format is different between a camera and End-User (Motion-JPEG and Windows media) • We need a Windows media encoder • If there’s a system that handles the difference automatically, it makes the communication more smoothly and easier for users.
6.Conclusion • Demonstration for Live View System • User just clicks on the map to watch the video of the place • Live View System makes use of • Union-Camera • Vvideo • How to realize Live View System
