Abstract
A control apparatus for controlling a movable apparatus including a first imaging apparatus for imaging a target to acquire a first image and a second imaging apparatus for imaging a part of the target to acquire a second image includes circuitry configured to acquire, from the movable apparatus, state information indicating a movement state of the movable apparatus, receive the first image and the second image from the movable apparatus based on the acquired state information, and output the first image and the second image selectively based on the acquired state information.
Claims19
A control apparatus to control a movable apparatus, the movable apparatus—including a first imaging apparatus to image a target to acquire a first image and a second imaging apparatus to image a part of the target to acquire a second image, the control apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- acquire, from the movable apparatus, state information indicating a movement state of the movable apparatus;
- adjust at least one parameter of at least one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus to relatively increase image quality, of at least one of the first image and the second image, as the movement state of the movable apparatus relatively decreases;
- receive at least one of the first image and the second image from the movable apparatus, adjusted in image quality;
- and
- output at least one of the first image and the second image.
A movable apparatus comprising:
- a movement mechanism configured to move the movable apparatus;
- a first imaging apparatus to image a target to acquire a first image;
- a second imaging apparatus to imam a part of the target to acquire a second image;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- acquire state information indicating a movement state of the movable apparatus;
- adjust at least one parameter of at least one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus to relatively increase image quality, of at least one of the first image and the second image, as the movement state of the movable apparatus relatively decreases;
- acquire at least one of the first image using the first imaging apparatus and the second image using the second imaging apparatus, adjusted in image quality;
- and
- output at least one of the first image acquired and the second image acquired to a display terminal, communicable with the circuitry.
A remote-control system comprising:
- a movable apparatus including a first imaging apparatus to image a target to acquire a first image and a second imaging apparatus to imam a part of the target to acquire a second image;
- a display terminal communicable with the movable apparatus via a communication network for remotely operating the movable apparatus;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- acquire, from the movable apparatus, state information indicating a movement state of the movable apparatus;
- adjust at least one parameter of at least one of the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus to relatively increase image quality, of at least one of the first image and the second image, as the movement state of the movable apparatus relatively decreases;
- receive at least one of the first image and the second image from the movable apparatus, adjusted in image quality, based on the state information acquired;
- and
- output, to the display terminal, at least one of the first image acquired and the second image acquired.
