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 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, the control apparatus comprising:
- 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.
The control apparatus according to claim wherein the first image is a video image and the second image is a still image.
The control apparatus according to claim
- wherein the circuitry of the display terminal generates an imaging request to be requested to the second imaging apparatus based on the acquired state information and transmits the imaging request to the movable apparatus,
- wherein the circuitry of the display terminal receives, from the movable apparatus, the second image acquired by the second imaging apparatus based on the imaging request transmitted to the movable apparatus, and displays the received second image on the display.
A movable apparatus comprising:
- a movement mechanism configured to move the movable apparatus;
- a first imaging apparatus for imaging a target to acquire a first image;
- a second imaging apparatus for imaging 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;
- acquire the first image using the first imaging apparatus and the second image using the second imaging apparatus;
- and
- output the acquired first image and second image to a display terminal, communicable with the circuitry, based on the acquired state information.
A remote-control system comprising:
- 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;
- 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;
- receive the first image and the second image from the movable apparatus based on the acquired state information;
- and
- output, to the display terminal, the first image and the second image selectively based on the acquired state information.
