A Live Video Imaging Method for Capturing Presentation Information in Distance Learning

We propose a new approach of video imaging method suitable to support distance learning. Automatic active camera control and video selection system visualizes presentation information of a lecturer and active students. We consider dynamic situation of the lecture to determine the appropriate target object to be shot which gives remote students live lecture information. We have implemented our method and used it in several distance learning courses held between Kyoto university and UCLA.
