Abstract: In mobile equipment that is configured for remote operation there are the competing interests of minimizing the number and complexity of cameras by using wide-angle cameras, while avoiding the fisheye distortion inherent in wide-angle cameras, which can be disorienting to remote operators. Thus, a method is disclosed that switches between video processing configurations depending on a machine state of the mobile equipment. For example, a first machine state may represent that the mobile equipment is immobile, whereas a second machine state may represent that the mobile equipment is mobile. In the first machine state, the video configuration does not correct for fisheye distortion, so as to maximize the field of view in the video while the mobile equipment is immobile. In the second machine state, the video configuration does correct for fisheye distortion, so as to prevent disorientation of the remote operator while the mobile equipment is mobile.
