Evaluation of vision systems for teleoperated land vehicles

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6094391

This paper describes an experimental methodology for comparing vision systems that might be used to control a teleoperated, land vehicle. A pilot study compared three forward-looking vision systems in two modes of driver interaction: (1) actual remote driving; and (2) video simulation. Remote driving has the advantage of realism, but is subject to variability in driving strategies and can be hazardous to equipment. Video simulation provides a more controlled environment in which to compare vision-system parameters, but at the expense of some realism. If results demonstrate that relative differences among the visual systems are consistent in the two test modes, then subsequent experimentation, aimed at optimizing vision-system parameters will rely on the more cost-effective, video-simulation approach. The results of the pilot study will be discussed in the conference session.
