A New Method for Analyzing Driver's Scanning Pattern in Driving used by the Visual Simulation System

This paper describes a new visual simulation system displayed driver's visual scanning pattern in driving. The relationship between driver's visual objects and driver's visual scanning pattern becomes clearly by using this system. It has been designed to make the video image superimposed the driver's eye-movement pattern and driver's visual field image photographed from the inside of a test vehicle. This system can coinside the view point coordinate system of visual field image with the view point corrdinate system displayed driver's eye-movement pattern. Driver's eye-movement pattern can be displayed from every direction by reconstructing 3-dimensional structure of driver's eye-movement pattern and visual field.
