PURPOSE: To visualize the position and direction of a remotely operated vehicle(ROV) in the specified environment by providing a position/attitude(P/A) detecting unit feeding the position and direction of the ROV.
CONSTITUTION: An environment modeler 39 constitutes a computer model with parameters from a range measuring device, and this model is stored in an environment model memory device 37. An ROV modeler 49 constitutes a computer model with the parameters specifying the geometrical layout of an ROV 10, and this model is stored in an ROV model memory device 47. The position and direction of the ROV 10 determined by an P/A detecting unit 21 are fed to an ROV rendering unit 33, and the ROV rendering unit 33 forms the image of the ROV model stored in the memory device 47 at the position and direction. An image mixer 41 receives the images from an environment rendering unit 35, the ROV rendering unit 35, and a sensor package 11, forms an image to be observed by an operator 2, and outputs it to a monitor 43.
