ABSTRACT:
An image sensing system, including visual telephone and teleconference terminals, connected via a network. Each terminal has a video camera placed on a pan head, and can display a video image sensed by the video camera connected to the terminal and a video image sensed by a video camera of a communication-destination terminal, on a monitor connected to the terminal. Each terminal detects whether or not the video camera is placed on the remote-controllable pan head, and mutually transmits the result of detection to its communication-destination terminal. At each terminal, if the direction of the video camera can be controlled by the pan head, a pan-head control panel is displayed with the video image from the video camera, on the monitor. Further, if the video camera of the communication-destination terminal is placed on a remote-controllable pan head, a pan-head control panel for the pan head of the communication-destination terminal is displayed with the video image from the communication-destination terminal, on the monitor.
