Abstract:
1. A method for aiding an operator during performance of an indirect vision driving task while viewing a display of a video camera return of a driving scene via a display device, comprising: determining parameters for both of a display being viewed during an indirect vision driving task and of a camera providing a camera return that is being displayed; determining characteristics of a plurality of sections of a course in the driving scene being displayed to the operator via the display device; determining an actual speed of the vehicle during the indirect vision driving task; calculating an estimated operator-perceived vehicle speed as would be expected to be visually perceived and interpreted as being the actual vehicle speed by the operator during performance of the indirect vision driving task while viewing the display device for each of a plurality of sections of the course in the driving scene based on the above determinations; and adaptively controlling, via a processor, the display of the driving scene on the display device to the operator in a manner so as to mitigate the difference between the estimated operator-perceived vehicle speed for the operator and the actual vehicle speed during the performance of the indirect vision driving task.
