Real and simulated driving with camera view
conference paper
This paper attempts two answer two questions: firstly, is it possible to drive a vehicle properly when only camera view is available? And secondly, if this is possible, what are the human factor requirements for imaging systems which provide controllers of land vehicles with a view of the environment? To answer these questions, two experiments were conducted. The first experiment was performed at a driving circuit with an instrumented car, and the driver situated inside the vehicle itself. This may be regarded as a simulation of driving under armour. The second experiment was conducted in the TNO - HFRI fixed-based driving simulator, and may be regarded as a simulation of a second major application of camera-monitor systems: operating an unmanned ground vehicle. Objective driving performance was measured across an extended taskbat-tery, including driving sharp curves, performing a lane change, and estimation of speed and distance. Investigated camera-monitor parameters were: placement and aiming of the camera, field of view, image magnification, and presence of spatial orientation cues.
The results show that driving with a camera-monitor system is indeed possible, be it with moderate performance degradation compared with direct view. In addition, best performance is attained with a camera mounted at the back of the car, with a wide field of view (100°), combined with magnification 1.0.

In twee experimenten is aangetoond dat rijden met een camera - monitor systeem mogelijk is. De beste resultaten worden bereikt met een hoge plaatsing, een groot gezichtsveld en een vergrotingsfactor 1.
