First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of environment visualization for a tele-operation, comprising:
- acquiring information on a surrounding environment of a platform to be subject to a tele-operation;
analyzing and recognizing geometrical characteristics for objects existing in a vicinity of the platform through the acquired information;
recognizing visualization rules for a plurality of specific situations according to relative positional relations between the platform and the objects and visualization effect information to be reproduced in the specific situations according to the visualization rules;
performing hierarchization for the objects by using the geometric characteristics, the visualization rules, and the visualization effect information; and
reproducing a visualization effect based on the visualization effect information corresponding to the specific situations according to a result of the performed hierarchization.
