AR Image Presentation Based on Sensor Data for Operator Support in Remote Car Driving : -Aiming for Remote Car Driving-

In order to realize a remote car driving in an emergency situation or complicated environment, we propose a new method for operator support in teleoperation in this paper. In the proposed teleoperation system, it is supposed that there are two communication lines between an operator and the target remote driving car. The one is called as the main line, in which large data like image or sound are transferred allowing a large delay. The other is called as the subline, in which small data like emergency signals are transferred with a small delay. In the proposed method, an AR image is presented to an operator, in which 3D objects superimposed on a real image are generated using sensor data transferred through the subline. Due to the 3D objects with a small delay on a real image with a large delay, the operator can safely control the target car even if the image has an enormous delay caused by the bad communication status.
