Description

INFORMATION SHARING SYSTEM, VIDEO PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION SHARING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

The present invention relates to a system for dialogue between remote locations.

There is a conventional technique for having a dialogue by installing cameras at two or more remote locations and transmitting and receiving video and audio to each other (for example, Patent Document 1). With this technology, a person at a certain location can have a dialogue with the other person while looking at the other person's face or the state of the remote location.

There are also conventional technologies for conducting dialogue while mutually confirming digitized information or information that can be digitized on the spot.

JP 2011-188112 A

For example, in the field of education where classes are held remotely, it is desirable that information written by hand on paper, blackboards, whiteboards, etc., can be shared immediately between students and teachers to proceed with dialogue. Note that media such as paper, blackboards, whiteboards, etc., for visibly describing (recording) information are collectively referred to as "information recording media".

However, when the conventional technology is used for the above purpose, it is difficult to share written information because it uses a camera designed on the premise of transmitting objects that are constantly moving, such as conversations, and a video compression format. Insufficient resolution. Also, when trying to increase the resolution, the amount of transmission per second may become insufficient.

To address the above issues, it is possible to manually take a handwritten document that should be shared with a camera for still images and share it, but it takes time and effort to share each document.

In other words, with conventional technology, it was difficult to send and receive images of people and to appropriately share images of information written on an information recording medium without trouble.

An embodiment (this embodiment) of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The embodiments described below are merely examples, and embodiments to which the present invention is applied are not limited to the following embodiments.

For example, in the example explained below, an educational site where teachers and students are separated from each other is taken as an example, but this is just an example, and the present invention can be applied to any field. In the following explanation, the case of sharing document information handwritten on paper is taken as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to the case of using information recording media other than paper. Further, although the following description shows information sharing between two points, the present invention can also be applied to information sharing between three or more points.

Examples 1 to 3 will be described below as specific processing contents according to the embodiment of the present invention.

(Example 1)
<Overall configuration example>
FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of the system according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, in this system, a student side system 100 is arranged at point A, and a teacher side system 100 is arranged at point B. FIG. Point A and point B are geographically separated, point B is remote from point A, and point A is remote from point B.

The side on which the student side system 100 is arranged may be called the "student side", and the side on which the teacher side system 200 is arranged may be called the "teacher side". On the student side, at least one person who is the subject of at least one camera is called a "student", and similarly, a person on the teacher side is called a "teacher". The student-side system may be called the student-side device, and the teacher-side system may be called the teacher-side device.

The location where the student-side system 100 is located is, for example, the student's home, and the location where the teacher-side system 200 is located is, for example, the classroom or the teacher's home, but is not limited to these. The point A and the point B are connected via a network 300 and can transmit and receive images and data.

Also, a control device 400 that controls the operation of the cameras and the like described below may be provided on the network 300 . Also, the control device 400 may be provided in the student side system 100 or in the teacher side system 200 .

<Configuration example and operation example of student-side system 100>
FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of the student-side system 100. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the student-side system 100 has a camera 101, a camera 102, a video display device 103, and a transmission/reception device 104. FIG.

The camera 101 shoots the student. The camera 102 captures the surface of the paper on which the student has written with a pen, pencil, or the like. The image display device 103 displays images to the students. Note that the camera 101 may be built in the image display device 103 .

The transmitting/receiving device 104 transmits the video (video data) captured by the cameras 101 and 102 to the teacher side via the network 300 . Also, the transmission/reception device 104 receives an image captured by the teacher via the network and transmits the image to the image display device 103 . Note that in any of the embodiments, audio is transmitted and received in addition to video, but the description is mainly focused on video.

Since the camera 101 shoots a moving person and the camera 102 shoots a substantially stationary paper surface, the frame rate for shooting with the camera 101 is higher than the frame rate for shooting with the camera 102 . The camera 101 shoots the student at a frame rate of 30 [fps], for example, and the camera 102 shoots the paper at a frame rate of 1 [fps], for example. Also, for example, the camera 102 shoots with a higher resolution than the camera 101 .

It should be noted that shooting at a certain frame rate means recording video at that frame rate.

When transmitting video shot at a high frame rate, the number of frames per unit time to be transmitted is large, so a higher network bandwidth (network transmission volume) is required compared to video shot at a low frame rate. .

Also, when transmitting video shot at high resolution, the bit rate (number of bits per unit time) to be transmitted is high, so network bandwidth (network transmission volume) is higher than video shot at low resolution. ).

In other words, if the network bandwidth is the same, high-resolution video can be transmitted by lowering the frame rate. You can share written information in high resolution.

The images captured by the cameras 101 and 102 are transmitted to the teacher through the transmission/reception device 104 and the network 300, respectively. Also, an image of the teacher captured by the teacher is displayed on the image display device 103, so that the students can confirm the image of the teacher.

It should be noted that, for example, the voice of the student may be captured by the camera 101 and transmitted to the teacher through the transmission/reception device 104 and the network 300 . Also, the teacher's voice may be acquired on the teacher's side, and the teacher's voice may be output from a speaker included in the video display device 103, for example.

Also, the setting of the frame rate and resolution for each camera as described above may be performed manually or automatically by the control device 400 .

<Configuration example and operation example of teacher-side system 200>
FIG. 3 shows configuration example 1 of the teacher-side system 200 . As shown in FIG. 3, the teacher-side system 200 has a camera 201 , a video display device 203 and a transmission/reception device 204 .

A camera 201 photographs the teacher. The image display device 203 displays images to the teacher. The transmitting/receiving device 204 transmits the video captured by the camera 201 to the teacher via the network 300 . Also, the transmission/reception device 204 receives the video shot by the student via the network and transmits the video to the video display device 203 .
For example, the camera 201 shoots the teacher at a frame rate of 30 [fps]. An image captured by the camera 201 is transmitted to the student side through the transmission/reception device 204 and the network 300 .

On the video display device 203 on the teacher side, the video of the student taken by the student and the video of the paper written by the student with a pen or pencil are displayed. You can check the video of As described above, the images on paper can display high-resolution images, so the teacher can clearly check even characters handwritten with a pencil.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing configuration example 2 of the teacher-side system 100. FIG. In configuration example 2, a camera 202 is provided in addition to the components of configuration example 1 (FIG. 3). Camera 202 is connected to transceiver 204 . The configuration is the same as configuration example 1 except that a camera 202 is provided.

The camera 202 takes a picture of the paper on which the teacher has written with a pen or pencil. The frame rate of photography by the camera 201 is higher than the frame rate of photography by the camera 202 . For example, the camera 201 shoots the teacher at a frame rate of 30 [fps], and the camera 202 shoots the paper at a frame rate of 1 [fps]. Also, for example, the camera 202 shoots with a higher resolution than the camera 201 .

The images captured by the cameras 201 and 202 are transmitted to the student side through the transmission/reception device 204 and the network 300, respectively.

By providing the camera 202 as described above, the video display device 103 on the student side displays the video of the teacher captured by the teacher and the video of the paper written by the teacher with a pen or pencil. The student can check the video of the teacher and the video of the paper in the teacher's hand.

<Example of detailed camera operation>
A specific operation example of the camera 102 on the student side and the camera 202 on the teacher side will be described. Here, the cameras 102 and 202 are collectively referred to as "camera 10". In the following description, it is assumed that the camera 10 is a camera that captures images of paper, but the cameras 101 and 201 that capture images of people may also be the cameras 10 described below.

The camera 10 shoots a stationary object such as a sheet of paper at a low frame rate, and transmits the low frame rate video (which may be called video data) obtained by shooting. The camera 10 may transmit the photographed image as it is, or may perform processing for vertically inverting the image and transmit the image after the processing.

In addition, the camera 10 may detect the position of the paper to be photographed, perform perspective projection conversion, and convert only the paper portion into the original shape such as a rectangle and transmit it. As a result, for example, even when a rectangular sheet of paper is photographed obliquely, the receiving side can see an image of the rectangular sheet of paper as if viewed from above. Also, on the transmitting side, the camera can be freely arranged. That is, for example, even if the camera is placed diagonally in front of the transmitting side so as not to interfere with the work, the receiving side can see a rectangular image of the paper as if viewed from above.

In addition, the camera 10 detects the position of the underlay in advance and calculates the perspective projection transformation matrix. You can continue to send with As a result, even if the sending side puts a rectangular sheet of paper on a rectangular underlay and writes on it, even if the rectangular sheet of paper is photographed obliquely, the receiving side will see the paper as if it were viewed from above. You can see an image of a rectangular sheet of paper.

The above-described perspective projection conversion processing may be performed by the camera 10 on the transmitting side, may be performed by another device on the transmitting side (eg, a transmitting/receiving device), or may be performed on the receiving side (eg, transmitting/receiving device, image display device, etc.) or any device on the network 300 route. Devices that perform such conversion may be collectively referred to as video processing devices. The control device 400 may also serve as a video processing device.

As for the specific method of detecting the position of the paper, for example, the Hough transform is applied to the image to detect the straight lines at the boundary of the paper, and the coordinates of the point where the four straight lines intersect in or near the image are obtained. Then, a perspective projection transformation matrix in which each point is transformed into each rectangular point can be obtained by solving the 8-element simultaneous equations. Alternatively, markers that can be detected by image processing are printed on paper, and the boundaries of the paper may be detected from the coordinates of the markers.

As a specific method for preparing the underlay and detecting its position, the boundary may be obtained by Hough transform, or the boundary may be obtained by directly detecting the color of the underlay. A marker or the like that can be detected by image processing may be printed on the underlay, and the area to be detected may be calculated. Alternatively, a marker may be printed slightly outside the place where the paper should be placed so that the position can be detected even when the paper is placed thereon, and the detection may be performed again each time the underlay moves.

<Configuration example of camera 10>
FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of the camera 10 in this embodiment. Camera 10 is a camera that can be used for any of cameras 101 , 102 , 201 and 202 . The recording unit 14 is assumed to be used in Examples 2 and 3, which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 5, the camera 10 has an imaging unit 11, a conversion processing unit 12, a transmission unit 13, and a recording unit 14.

The imaging unit 11 acquires video according to set parameters (frame rate, resolution, etc.). The conversion processing unit 12 performs, for example, the above-described conversion processing (vertical inversion processing, perspective projection conversion processing, etc.) on the video captured by the imaging unit 11 (or the video read from the recording unit 14). . Note that the conversion processing unit 12 may not execute conversion processing.

The transmission unit 13 transmits the video. The recording unit 14 records video, reads the recorded video, and transmits it from the transmission unit 13 in response to an instruction or the like. The recording unit 14 may record the video itself captured by the imaging unit 11 or may record the video after conversion by the conversion processing unit 12 .

Note that the conversion processing unit 12 or the recording unit 14, or both the conversion processing unit 12 and the recording unit 14 need not be provided in the camera 10. Either the conversion processing unit 12 or the recording unit 14, or both the conversion processing unit 12 and the recording unit 14 may be provided on either the student side, the teacher side, or the network 300 as the video processing device described above. Also, the camera 10 including the conversion processing unit 12 or the recording unit 14, or both the conversion processing unit 12 and the recording unit 14 may be called a video processing device. Also, the conversion processing unit 12 or the recording unit 14 provided in the camera 10, or both the conversion processing unit 12 and the recording unit 14 may be called a video processing device, and the imaging unit 11 may be called a camera.

<Effect of Example 1>
There is already a technology that enables a person at a certain point to have a face-to-face conversation as well as voice when conversing with a person at a remote location. However, when expressing the knowledge that emerges from these conversations in diagrams and text, it is not possible to fully convey it through voice and facial expressions alone.

In particular, in order to share information written on paper with multiple people in remote locations, the resolution of existing video sharing is insufficient, or the line speed of the network is insufficient. On the other hand, by using the condition that the information written on the paper is almost stationary, even if the line speed is poor, by preparing a camera and line that can share the information written now almost in real time, separately from the dialogue. You can easily communicate "knowledge born from dialogue". In addition to separately preparing a line for page sharing and a line for dialogue, one line may be used for both page sharing and dialogue.

Especially in a class where the teacher gives the students, it is inefficient for the students to write while worrying about the resolution. Being able to have a dialogue makes the transfer of knowledge more efficient.

(Example 2)
Next, Example 2 will be described. Example 2 is an example in which a plurality of people are present at at least one of the plurality of locations. The overall configuration of the system in Example 2 is the same as in Example 1, as shown in FIG.

In the second embodiment, there are multiple people (referred to as students) on the student side, and a student-side system 100 for multiple students is provided. The configuration of the teacher-side system 200 in the second embodiment may be the same as that of the teacher-side system 200 described in the first embodiment.

The student-side system 100 of the second embodiment is basically the same as the configuration shown in FIG. Any one, any two, or all of them are provided in plurality. In either case, one sound collecting device may be prepared for each student.

For example, one camera 101 for photographing a student may be provided for each student. Also, one or more cameras 101 may be provided that capture multiple students.

Each student may be provided with one camera 102 for photographing a stationary object such as a paper surface written by a student with a pencil or pen, or the camera 102 may be shared by several students, such as one for every two students. may

Regarding the image of the student's paper space, it is possible to transmit the image of the entire paper surface of one sheet for each student, or distribute to each student a paper printed with a specific place to write the answer in a specific position Then, only the specific location may be enlarged and transmitted.

Regarding the transmission of the image of the written paper, for example, the image captured by the camera 102 at 1 [fps] continues to be transmitted. Upside-down reversal or perspective projection conversion as described in the first embodiment may be performed.

In addition, for example, the captured image of the paper may be recorded in the recording unit (for example, the recording unit of the camera 102), and the student who wrote the paper may decide the timing of transmitting the image by himself. For example, each student may operate the camera 102 to instruct the recording unit to transmit an image, or may use an electronic device for instructing the camera 102 to perform an image transmission operation.

Also, for example, a student's finger touching a specific place on a piece of paper or underlay may be a video transmission instruction. In this case, when the camera 102 recognizes that the finger touches a specific place on the paper or underlay in the image, it instructs the recording unit to transmit the image. These recording controls may also be applied in the first and third embodiments.

The image display device 203 in the teacher's system 200 displays images of multiple students' sheets transmitted from the student's system 100 . After confirming the writings of a plurality of students, the teacher can display the image of the paper written by a certain student on the image display device 103 in front of the student himself based on the teacher's operation, and can further add to it. . You can interact with your students here. For example, only when the answer is wrong, the writing process of the part other than the answer may be displayed by the teacher's operation to check the writing process.

The function of performing control based on the teacher's operation as described above may be provided in the video display device 203 in the teacher-side system 200, or may be provided in a device other than the video display device 203 (for example, the control device 400). .

In addition, the teacher can check the answers written by the students themselves, or grade them automatically using handwriting recognition technology. Handwriting recognition may be used while improving the recognition accuracy by learning the handwritten characters of individual students. The function of recognizing handwriting may be provided in the video display device 203 in the teacher-side system 200, or may be provided in a device other than the video display device 203 (for example, the control device 400).

(Example 3)
Next, Example 3 will be described. The system configuration of the third embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment, a plurality of students exist on the student side, and the writings of the plurality of students are displayed on the video display device 203 of the teacher side system 200 . In a third embodiment, an example will be described in which recording is used to efficiently have a dialogue between a teacher and a student.

For example, if there are 30 students, it will take time for the teacher to check all the entries submitted by the 30 students, and the students will have too much time.

Therefore, in Example 3, multiple students are grouped and recording is used to efficiently create time for checking answers. Specifically, it is as follows.

Assuming that there are 30 students, divide the 30 students into three groups, A, B, and C. FIG. 6 shows a system configuration example when the students are divided into groups A, B, and C. In FIG. The configuration of the

systems

100A, 100B, and 100C of each group is the same as the configuration of the student-side system 100 described in the second embodiment.

An operation example of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the teacher gives a lesson to group A for 30 minutes, and the situation is photographed by the camera 201 and recorded by the recording unit. Recording may be performed by any recording unit on the teacher side, the student side, or on the network 300, but is performed by the recording unit of the camera 201 of the teacher system 200, for example. This allows the teacher to operate recording.

Then have Group A practice for 30 minutes. The image of the page is captured by the camera 102 and sent to the video display device 204 on the teacher's side for display. This allows the teacher to check the answers. While the teacher is checking the answers, the recorded video is transmitted to the group B, the group B views the video recording on the video display device, and the group B exercises at the same time as the group A finishes the exercise.

By repeating the above process, the teacher can check the answers of all the students in order for 90 minutes after the 30-minute class.

In addition, in Examples 2 and 3, there may be a plurality of students on the student side and a plurality of teachers on the teacher side. The configuration of the teacher system 200 in that case is the same as that of the student system 100 of the second embodiment. A plurality of any two or all are provided. In either case, one sound collecting device may be prepared for each teacher.

If there are multiple students on the student side and multiple teachers on the teacher side, multiple teachers may share the time to check the answers.

<Effects of Examples 2 and 3>
In the case of a scale of about 10 or more students, if the students themselves move the pencils to do the work, and if the results are to be confirmed, it is necessary to have the students submit the papers, grade them, and then return them. When such work is done remotely, it is necessary to digitize the information written on paper, and real-time exchange cannot be done remotely.

According to the technology described in Examples 2 and 3, the teacher can collect the writings of all the students at a sufficient resolution almost in real time, and if the place to check on the paper such as the answer is specified in advance, , many answers can be checked at the same time on the screen.

Also, if more than a certain number of students are asked to move their pencils around and the teacher confirms the work, there will not be enough time for each student in real time. By recording the information transmission from the teacher and progressing the work with a time lag, the teacher can take sufficient time for each student to check the student's answers and other writings.

(Hardware configuration example)
All of the video processing device, control device, and video display device described in the first to third embodiments can be implemented by causing a computer to execute a program, for example. This computer may be a physical computer or a virtual machine on the cloud. Hereinafter, the video processing device, control device, and video display device will be collectively referred to as "apparatus".

That is, the device can be realized by executing a program corresponding to the processing performed by the device using hardware resources such as a CPU and memory built into the computer. The above program can be recorded in a computer-readable recording medium (portable memory, etc.), saved, or distributed. It is also possible to provide the above program through a network such as the Internet or e-mail.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration example of the computer. The computer of FIG. 8 has a drive device 1000, an auxiliary storage device 1002, a memory device 1003, a CPU 1004, an interface device 1005, a display device 1006, an input device 1007, an output device 1008, etc., which are interconnected by a bus BS.

A program that implements the processing in the computer is provided by a recording medium 1001 such as a CD-ROM or memory card, for example. When the recording medium 1001 storing the program is set in the drive device 1000 , the program is installed from the recording medium 1001 to the auxiliary storage device 1002 via the drive device 1000 . However, the program does not necessarily need to be installed from the recording medium 1001, and may be downloaded from another computer via the network. The auxiliary storage device 1002 stores installed programs, as well as necessary files and data.

The memory device 1003 reads and stores the program from the auxiliary storage device 1002 when a program activation instruction is received. The CPU 1004 implements functions related to the device according to programs stored in the memory device 1003 . The interface device 1005 is used as an interface for connecting to a network, various measuring devices, exercise intervention devices, and the like. A display device 1006 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or the like by a program. An input device 1007 is composed of a keyboard, a mouse, buttons, a touch panel, or the like, and is used to input various operational instructions. The output device 1008 outputs the calculation result.
