Integration of sensor informations into camera image presented to mobile robot operator

Abstract

The paper covers a possible way of displaying the image of mobile robot camera subsystem on a personal computer independently on the used hardware solution of camera connection; together with integration of additional text and 2D graphical information about the state of the robot and data from the sensory subsystem. Also utilization of augmented reality is described, for composition of the camera image and 3D graphical objects generated based on laser scanner data. The created application has been programmed in Visual C++; graphics is rendered using Microsoft Direct3D.
