Visual acts for remote viewing during teleoperation

In this paper we present research which is exploring the use of perceptual models in the construction of automated viewing systems for operator viewing during teleoperation. We show how a perceptual discrimination model can be used for selecting a set of viewing directions for one phase of the peg-in-hole task and hence a pattern of looking, or "visual act". We introduce "visibility modelling" as a way of mapping from the task environment to the discrimination model.
