This invention relates to novel design of a rover with 360° mode-image-capture device
Background of the Invention
US20070114345A1: Systems, methods and apparatus related to a motorized platform for use in creating three dimensional images. The motorized platform includes symmetrical steering system. Such that a digital camera remains focused upon a desired image target as the motorized platform is advanced. The symmetrical steering system includes a three-wheel arrangement providing a constant radius path around the image target. A pair of steerable wheels located on an inside edge of the motorized platform are operably connected with a steering linkage assembly Such that the steerable wheels are angularly adjusted to define the constant radius path. A drive wheel is operably connected to a motor assembly for propelling the motorized platform along the constant radius path. A digital camera can be mounted to a tripod attached to the motorized platform and the digital camera can be operably controlled either manually or automatically as the the motorized platform is advanced.
US20160012590A1: A surveying system comprising a station and rover is used to make field measurements of a job site. The station at a first location has one or more cameras and one or more targets. The rover has one or more cameras and one or more targets. The rover is moved to a plurality of locations and images are acquired of the one or more targets of the station and/or the rover. The images are used to determine a spatial relationship between the first location and the plurality of locations.
US7720580B2: An imaging system for a vehicle includes an imaging sensor and a control. The imaging sensor is operable to capture an image of a scene occurring exteriorly of the vehicle. The control receives the captured image, which comprises an image data set representative of the exterior scene. The control may apply an edge detection algorithm to a reduced image data set of the image data set. The reduced image data set is representative of a target zone of the captured image. The control may be operable to process the reduced image data set more than other image data, which are representative of areas of the captured image outside of the target zone, to detect objects present within the target zone. The imaging system may be associated with a side object detection system, a lane change assist system, a lane departure warning system and/or the like.
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. Present invention is a novel design of a rover with ability of capturing 360° image using 360° mode-image-capture device.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
Adding a 360-degree video system is a crucial part of the element since it enables scientists sitting in the control room to be always aware of the rover’s surroundings. Since we can see our surroundings, studying the planet would be a lot simpler. It will assist scientists in determining if the rover is operating correctly or what problems it may be having on the other planets. It will also be beneficial for the researchers to concentrate only on one camera because it can provide a 360-degree image of the globe. The ability to record the environment all around and we can see it afterwards in an immersive manner is a significant benefit of 360-degree cameras.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The illustrated embodiments of the subject matter will be understood by reference to the drawings, wherein like parts are designated by like numerals throughout. The following description is intended only by way of example, and simply illustrates certain selected embodiments of devices, systems, and methods that are consistent with the subject matter as claimed herein, wherein:
This idea, method, and apparatus used here are meant to increase the visibility of the image captured by the rover camera in 360 views. There are no lenses that can be switched out, and the majority of them have a sensor size that is just 1/2.3 inches. As it captures the environment in its whole and in all directions at the same time, a 360-degree camera does not have the compositional limitation of a frame nor the concept of a frame at all.
