ABSTRACT
We developed an omni-directional stereoscopic live viewing camera (TwinCam) system to reduce the motion blur and latency during head rotation of a remote user wearing a head mounted display (HMD). The TwinCam system consists of two omni-directional live cameras (THETA S, Ricoh), rotation mechanisms with a motor, an image control PC, and an HMD. The camera base rotates synchronously with the azimuth angle of the HMD that the observer is wearing, while each camera lens is at a constant azimuth angle. This camera configuration greatly reduces image flow on the CMOS image sensor in the camera, and eventually, the motion blur on the HMD screens when the HMD rotates. The apparent image latency during the head rotation is minimized by the buffered image. A user study demonstrated that both reduced motion blur and compensated latency were effective in reducing the virtual reality (VR) sickness symptoms.

Non-uniform Deblurring for Shaken Images
Photographs taken in low-light conditions are often blurry as a result of camera shake, i.e. a motion of the camera while its shutter is open. Most existing deblurring methods model the observed blurry image as the convolution of a sharp image with a ...
A Stereoscopic Vision System with Delay Compensation for 360° Remote Reality
Thematic Workshops '17: Proceedings of the on Thematic Workshops of ACM Multimedia 2017The rapid development of virtual reality systems and their increasing acceptance result in a high demand for 3D content, in particular, content that can be viewed in 360°. The acquisition of monoscopic 360° videos is straightforward and is typically ...
Identification of parameters and restoration of motion blurred images
SAC '06: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM symposium on Applied computingThis paper proposes a technique for restoring the motion blurred images. Restoration of blurred images is very important problem in tracking and identification of criminals, where image of a human face or number plate of a running vehicle taken in hit ...
