ShareCam: Shared Access to a Robotic Streaming Video Camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
ShareCam is a robotic pan, tilt, and zoom streaming video camera controlled by simultaneous frame requests from remote users. Robotic webcameras are commercially available but currently restrict control to only one user at a time. ShareCam introduces a new interface that allows simultaneous control by many users. We will demonstrate the implemented system using a Java-based interface at the conference linked via the Internet to a camera on the UC Berkeley campus. We will also discuss system architecture and several new algorithms we’ve developed to compute optimal camera paramters based on user frame requests. ShareCam can be tested online at: www.tele-actor.net/sharecam/

متن کاملCollaborative Frame Selection: Exact and Distributed Algorithms for a Networked Robotic Camera with Discrete Zoom Levels
Collaborative Frame Selection arises when one robotic pan, tilt, zoom camera is shared by many users. The problem is to compute optimal camera parameters based on simultaneous frame requests from all users. We formalize the problem using a new metric, Intersection Over Maximum (IOM), to model the degree of satisfaction for each user, and seek to maximize total satisfaction for n users. We assum...
متن کاملA Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...
