Abstract:
1. A method for determining a vehicle operator's visual input of an object in the operator's surroundings, the method comprising: receiving an object position signal indicative of a position of at least one object in the operator's surroundings; receiving an operator motion input signal indicative of physiological data comprising information relating to at least one of eye, face, head and body motion of the operator of the vehicle; estimating an operator eye-gaze direction based on the operator motion input signal; estimating an expected fixation probability indicative of a probability of fixation of the object by the operator's eyes; and determining a visual input quality value representative of a level of visual input of the at least one object received by the operator, based on the object position signal, the estimated operator eye-gaze direction, and the estimated expected fixation probability.
