摘要

A display device for controlling a remotely controlled camera is disclosed. The display device comprising an image receiver configured to receive an image of the image stream from the camera, and a processor. The processor including a retriever configured to retrieve a selected buffered image corresponding to a data insufficiency region within a target field of view while adjusting the camera from a current field of view to the target field of view until the image stream from the camera includes the insufficiency region being depicted within the target field of view and a depicter configured to depict the selected buffered image on the display device at least in the insufficiency region.

1. A display device for controlling a remotely controlled camera, the display device comprising:
an image buffer memory; and a processor including:
an image receiver configured to receive an image of an image stream from the camera;a chart engine configured to integrate the image stream into a 3-D virtual representation of a marine environment based upon a geo-positional location of the camera and a field of view of the camera;a capture module configured to buffer portions of the image stream as buffered images in the image buffer memory, each of the buffered images being associated with a corresponding field of view of the camera;a command sender configured to adjust the camera from a current field of view to a target field of view;a retriever configured to retrieve at least a portion of a selected buffered image, upon determining during the adjustment that a lag exists between an actual field of view of the camera and the target field of view which would result in a data insufficiency region within the target field of view for which there is no current image stream data from the camera to be displayed on the display device; anda depicter module configured to depict the selected buffered image on a display of the display device at least in the data insufficiency region.
