Abstract: A video monitoring system for a movie film camera usable with either spherical or anamorphic lenses wherein conventional, unmodified video monitors and recorders may be used. A video camera is positioned in the film camera to receive an image directly from the camera lens without interposing either a ground glass for imaging or an optical deanamorphosing lens. The anamorphic image, which is horizontally squeezed (such as by a factor of 2), that is received by the video camera then is electronically processed to deanamorphose the image by producing an analog video signal to a video monitor that displays the properly proportioned image in the middle one-half of the monitor screen and produces black areas or strips across the top one quarter and bottom one quarter of the screen. The horizontal lines of the video picture are electronically interpolated for enhancing the picture. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves comparison of the degree of depression of the accelerator pedal (103) with a threshold value. When the degree of depression lies above the threshold value this indicates a dynamic request or control input. The comparison process takes account of how the driver normally operates the accelerator pedal. This allows for the fact that for a mode of driving recognised as sporty a greater degree is necessary than in the case of one recognised as careful. Recognition of the different driving modes can be based on continuous recording of the depression of the accelerator pedal and a statistical evaluation in respect of the degree of depression.
