Remote Operation Video Overlay for Vehicle Vibration Awareness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Remote operation systems face challenges in presenting vehicle vibration components to operators, leading to potential sickness and erroneous vehicle state determination due to unprocessed video vibrations, and existing solutions require complex apparatuses that are difficult to install.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that acquires and processes presentation signals to remove burden components, such as video vibrations, and presents corresponding information to operators using bands overlaid on the video to indicate motion or sound levels, allowing operators to recognize vehicle states accurately.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If vibration component is removed from video to prevent operator sickness, then operator comfort is improved, but ability to determine vehicle state is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The video signal is segmented into vibration components and non-vibration components through image processing. The vibration components are removed to prevent operator sickness, while the non-vibration components are preserved to maintain vehicle state determination capability. This segmentation allows selective processing of different signal components.
Solution Approach 2:
Vibration information is introduced as an intermediary element to mediate between the conflicting requirements. The vibration information is presented to the operator through display or sound output, allowing the operator to perceive vehicle motion states without experiencing the harmful effects of actual video vibration. This intermediary provides the missing information without reproducing the harmful vibration.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If vibration information is transmitted and operator seat is moved to match video vibration, then operator comfort is improved, but device complexity and installation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mechanical system of moving the operator seat to match video vibration is replaced with an information processing system. Instead of physically moving the seat using motors and sensors, the patent uses image processing to remove vibration components from the video and presents vibration information through display or sound. This substitution eliminates complex mechanical apparatus while achieving the same comfort improvement.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If vibration component is removed from video, then operator sickness is reduced, but operator fatigue increases due to lack of vibration feedback
Solution Approach 1:
Vibration information is provided as feedback to the operator through display or sound output. This feedback mechanism allows the operator to perceive vehicle motion states without experiencing the harmful effects of actual video vibration. The feedback maintains the operator's situational awareness and reduces fatigue by providing necessary information in a non-fatiguing form.
