Hakusan,
The construction industry is currently facing challenges related to safety, productivity, working conditions, and labor shortages. As a result, the demand for remote control and automatic operation of construction machinery has increased. The solution realized by EIZO and
In developing a solution for remote construction work, where equipment is operated by using images transmitted from a camera installed at the construction site and displayed on a remote monitor, there are two major challenges related to safety and efficiency. When operating machines in real time using a monitor screen as a visual guide, it is often difficult for operators to perceive depth in the images, making it difficult to interact with the environment or grasp objects. Stable transmission of images to the screen is also required for real-time interaction when operating remotely.
To address these challenges,
EIZO contributed to the system by utilizing technologies from throughout its Imaging Chain, which includes image processing, camera image transmission, and 3D monitors.
EIZO's image processing system receives images from the two cameras installed at the site and automatically corrects lens distortion and visual deterrents in real time to ensure that images are clear, and details are easy to see.
The processed data is then transmitted through the Streaming Gateway function of EIZO's powerful IP decoding box, which combines the two camera images into a single image while maintaining synchronization between the two. The result is an image captured in real time with extremely low delay for more accurate and safer operation of construction machinery. Finally, the two combined images are displayed on EIZO's 3D monitor to create a 3D environment for the operator to interact.
EIZO's 3D monitors are designed for endoscopic surgeries in the healthcare field. These surgeries require the monitor to reproduce images with a true sense of depth in order to safely perform delicate procedures. EIZO worked closely with
