Description: This thesis develops an approach to creating a practical wearable computing environment. The work focuses primarily on imaging, image processing and display in a wearable computing context. Necessary components are developed in this thesis to test the validity of the approach and define the areas for future research. The work includes the design of wearable devices for image capture and display, as well as necessary image processing to enable useful applications in the mediated reality domain. This work contributes: Design innovations aimed at achieving commercial viability of the EyeTap wearable imaging/display device; improvements to the core image processing tools needed for the range calibration of camera devices, and the application of range calibrated cameras to image processing in the wearable computing environment; image motion analysis techniques for practical unconstrained mediated reality wearable computing applications, based on the simplification of General 6DOF motion analysis to the projective group.
