Augmented Telepresence Using Recorded Aerial Omnidirectional Videos Captured from Unmanned Airship

摘要

This paper proposes an augmented telepresence system which generates large-scale omnidirectional AR scenes in outdoor environments using recorded omnidirectional videos captured from an unmanned airship. The proposed system realizes geometric registration by estimating extrinsic camera parameters using a video sequence and GPS data. Photometric registration is realized by environmental map completion and illumination environment estimation of real scene. This paper describes a system for aerial imaging using an airship and an omnidirectional camera, geometric and photometric registration methods, and experimental results of generating AR scenes from an omnidirectional video sequence captured on a historic site.
