The manual creation of a ceiling plan consumes many human resources to confirm the current state of existing buildings for the renovation. Especially the positions and the types of existing fixtures are important. In this paper, we propose a synthesis method for a panoramic ceiling image using a video shot by an omnidirectional camera. We utilize a Visual SLAM method to map the positions of omnidirectional video frames including the ceiling. We prioritize the clear depiction of fixture outlines for easier identification of the types of ceiling fixtures. To draw clear fixture outlines in the resulting image, each fixture is referred from the single video frame that captures it most clearly. In the experiment, we collected an omnidirectional video in the indoor area of approximately 273 square meters with multiple rooms. We evaluated the synthesized image for positional accuracy of the ceiling fixtures, and our proposed method demonstrated higher accuracy compared to the baseline.

In distribution warehouses, various forms of data transformation are underway, such as the conversion of data related to receiving and inventory management. Distribution warehouses have designated areas known as truck berths, where trucks are parked for loading/unloading. While data collection is expected to enhance work efficiency at these truck berths, there is no data regarding the status of work in progress in the unloading space, and no system is in place to analyze the work. Consequently, it is unclear which tasks are problematic and how to enhance efficiency. To address this issue, this paper proposes a framework for analyzing the loading/unloading situation at truck berths with the objective of enhancing berth utilization efficiency and work efficiency. Specifically, we employed a fixed camera for object detection through instance segmentation. This approach enables us to understand the situation of trucks, unloading spaces, and workers. The training data were annotated using a large amount of real-world data, allowing for the measurement and analysis of the efficiency of loading/unloading operations. By calculating the amount of cargo based on the floor space, we assessed the efficiency of unloading operations per truck. Through the analysis of both efficient and inefficient operations, insights for enhancing work efficiency were provided.

In this demonstration paper, we present the RHS360, a 360-degree robotic hand system designed to facilitate communication across spatial domains. The RHS360 is capable of providing continuous alignment between the user's position in the cyber space and the robotic hand's position. Furthermore, it allows users in the cyber space to reposition the robotic hand to accommodate their movements within the space. Our system not only enables communication, including gestures, through the use of the robotic hand but also provides essential social cues that are crucial in effective communication.

Traditional wildlife spotting on Kenyan Safari Game Drives, rooted in visual scouting and sporadic communication, encounters challenges in animal detection efficiency and environmental preservation. In light of rejuvenating post-pandemic tourism and enhancing safari experiences, this study proposes a wildlife spotting and sharing system. The methodology melds wildlife detection and sharing technologies, anchored by three core principles: preserving chance of encounters, regulating information accessibility, and endorsing environmental conservation. The system architecture employs sensors, GPS, and tablet terminals for real-Time data acquisition, animal identification, and information propagation. This approach aims to nurture an engaging, efficient, and eco-conscious wildlife spotting and sharing experience, potentially setting a benchmark for sustainable wildlife tourism in similar wildlife-rich regions.

The rise of diverse digital environments like digital twins and the metaverse emphasizes the importance of telepresence methods for linking users across different spaces. These methods aim to boost communication and services between these spaces. This paper introduces RHS360, a 360-degree robot hand system designed for inter-spatial communication. RHS360 ensures the robot hand aligns precisely with the user in cyberspace, adjusting based on the user's movements in the virtual realm. This enables the robot hand not only to aid communication and gestures but also to convey crucial social cues, enhancing the overall communication experience. Additionally, a user survey was conducted, revealing that observing the robot hand's movements significantly improved understanding their partner's thoughts and fostered a greater sense of intimacy. These findings suggest that the proposed method enhances communication between different spaces.

This research proposes a communication system called Mobility Link XR that connects physical space and cyberspace with mobility. Mobility Link XR is a system that enables remote users to view panoramic video from a 360-degree camera attached to a mobility vehicle in different space by wearing a VR device, and mobility users to view the remote user as an avatar by wearing an MR device. In this way, sharing space in three dimensions using XR enables a higher level of human communication. In this paper, we apply Mobility Link XR to an electric wheelchair and design two types of scenarios: an assistance mode that reproduces the positional relationship of communication in a conventional wheelchair, and a passenger mode that reproduces the positional relationship inside a vehicle, which is said to be a suitable distance for conversation. We also evaluated the reproducibility of communication in the wheelchair and the effectiveness of communication using the avatar. The results showed that the reproducibility of voice and emotion was highly evaluated and that the side-by-side positional relationship enabled higher quality communication as the avatar was more easily seen and felt present.
