A Testing Procedure and Method for Qualifying Cameras for Automotive Use Under High Glare Conditions

Cameras for automotive use need to provide sufficient contrast resolution under many light conditions. The authors have developed a testing procedure, adapted from detection experiment methodology used for evaluating vehicle camouflage, that checks a camera's ability to perform in situations wh...

Description
Summary:Cameras for automotive use need to provide sufficient contrast resolution under many light conditions. The authors have developed a testing procedure, adapted from detection experiment methodology used for evaluating vehicle camouflage, that checks a camera's ability to perform in situations where there is high light level in some areas and low light level in others. The procedure simulates the situation of looking into oncoming traffic at night and gives a quantitative measure of the resolving ability of the camera as the lighting is varied. Presented at the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV 2001) held at the National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan, on 13-17 May 2001 and published in proceedings of the same.
