    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the confirmation of a current value, a target value and the like in the process of control. SOLUTION: A Fig. A shows a current value and a target value of information are matched. As in B, for example, a user operates a mouse, keyboard or the like to change the display position of a slider S2 for the target value. That is, a target value of control desired by the user is set. As in C, once the control is started, the display position of a slider S1 for the current value is gradually changed toward the display position of the slider S2. As in D, the display positions of the sliders S1 and S2 are matched to explicitly show that the current value of information has reached the desired value to complete the control. This method can facilitate the recognition of the current value and the target value set by the user in the process of control and facilitate the confirmation of the status of the controlled object to eliminate the risk of unnecessarily confusing the user and explicitly show the completion of control.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly control a video camera connected through a network, etc. SOLUTION: A personal computer 5 detects the current state of a video camera 1 by referring to information transmitted from a workstation 3. When a command which controls the camera 1 is inputted from a mouse 7, the computer 5 predicts an image which is assumed to be taken with the camera 1 when the command is executed by referring to the information transmitted from the workstation 3 and the command inputted from the mouse 7, and displays the image on a CRT monitor 6. A user refers to the image displayed on the monitor 6 and, when the inputted command is to be executed, performs operation for instructing the execution of the command. Consequently, the inputted command is transmitted to the workstation 3 via internet 4, thus the camera 1 and a pan tilter 2 are controlled.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image-pickup system which is easily and accurately remote-controlled. SOLUTION: This system consists of building blocks containing, an image- pickup device 10, a server computer 20 and a client computer 30, and an instruction from an operator entered through the client computer 30 is sent to the server computer 20 via a communication channel, such as the internent and sent to the image-pickup device 10 placed at a remote place via an interface RS232C or the like. Furthermore, a photographed image is sent to the client computer 30 via the communication channel and displayed on a monitor 34. The operator observing the display provides an operating instruction. Amounts for a photographing direction and a field angle driven by a one-time operation in the operation instruction has been preset. A panning/tilt control microcomputer 3 drives a panning motor 5 and a tilt motor 6 of a panning/tilt device 4 to set the photographing direction, and a camera control microcomputer 2 drives a zoom motor 17 of the image-pickup device 10 to set the photographing field angle.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display the movable range of a pan tilter camera as a panoramic picture and to easily obtain a video that is specified by referring to the panoramic picture from the pan tilter camera. SOLUTION: The video that is fetched from a camera part 1 is supplied to a video capture part 29 of a computer 1. The video is shown in an operation area 6A of a monitor 2. Also, a panoramic image that connects a partial or entire image of a movable range of a pan tilter 28 is shown in a panoramic operational area 6B. A pan tilting part 12 supplies the positional information of current pan and tilt to the computer 1 through a mode controller 23. An object is selected by using a mouse 8 and operating the areas 6A or 6B. The computer 1 searches for data to drive the tilter 28, which brings a selected object to the center of the area 6A.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily control a panning/tilting camera by displaying a video image from the panning/tilting camera on an operation area of a screen and pointing out an arbitrary position on the operating area, so as to allow a designated object to come to a center of the operating area. SOLUTION: A video image received from a camera section 11 is fed to a video capture section 29 of a computer 1. The video image is displayed on an operation area 6 of a monitor 2. A panning/tilting section 12 gives current panning/tilting position information to the computer 1 via a mode controller 23. The computer 1 controls a camera controller 24 and a panning/tilting controller 25. The computer 1 obtains data for driving a panning/tilting device 28 by pointing out a point on the operation area 6 with a pointing device 14 (mouse 8), and then a designated object is displayed on a center of the screen.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a motion of an image with high accuracy. SOLUTION: A motion of an image is detected based on both a luminance change and a hue change in a picture element. That is, 7 picture elements whose luminance is changing are obtained as shown in figure A and when 6 picture elements whose hue is changing are obtained as shown in figure B, an area consisting of 9 picture elements whose luminance or hue is changing at least is discriminated to be an area in motion.
