| Summary: | The growth of a communication network technology enables students to take part in a distant lecture. Although many lectures are conducted in universities by using Web contents, normal lectures using a blackboard are still held. The latter style lecture is good for a teacher's dynamic explanation. A way to modify it for a distant lecture is to capture the lecture by a video camera. When video lecture scenes are viewed, a camera-person usually controls a camera to take suitable shots; alternatively, the camera is static and captures the same location all the time. Both methods, however, have some problems. It is necessary to control a camera automatically. The authors are developing an ACE (Automatic Camera control system for Education) with computer vision techniques. This paper describes the system, the camera control strategy and an experiment of applying it to a real lecture. (Author) |
