Abstract

The information transfer capacity of the software to share resources across a network such as the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN), extremely limits the performance of the system, especially when dealing with images and live video. Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) forms a technical platform for other communication technologies, such as Frame Relay and ATM. This research incorporates design and development of the Virtual Visual System (VVS) to provide real-time video conferencing and surveillance applications over ISDN with good image quality and compatibility with other equipment. VVS includes video capture device drivers, software modules to allow real-time audio/video data transfer, camera controller module, and developer kit. With these concepts and equipment availability, VVS can be extended to applications such as: interacting with the children in child-care centers by their parents from work; personal video conferencing; providing real time accident or similar information about automobiles to authorities in an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) environment.
