Abstract

In this paper we define an innovative modular real-time system to visualize, capture, manage, securely preserve, store and playback stereoscopic images. The system, called "Solid-Look" together with the cameras "StereOpsis" will allow military, EOD specialists, and private industry operators to literally "see through the robot's eyes". The system enables the operator to control the robot as if his/her head were located on the robot itself, positioning and zooming the camera to the visual target object using the operator's eye and head movement, without any wearable devices and allowing the operator's hands to perform other tasks. The stereo cameras perform zooming and image stabilization for a controlled and smooth vision. The display enables stereoscopic vision without the need of glasses. Every image frame is authenticated, encrypted and timestamped to allow certainty and confidentiality during post-capture playback or to show evidence in court. The system secures the ability to operate it, requiring administrator's biometrical authentication. Solid-Look modular design can be used in multiple industries from Homeland Security to Pharmaceutical including research, forensic and underwater inspections and will certainly provide great benefit to the performance, speed and accuracy of the operations.
