2、 are important for transport applications such as driver eye tracking or collision avoidance. This paper addresses the synchronisation problem which arises when multivision camera systems are used to capture the high speed motion common in such applications. Methods An experimental, high-speed tri-v

Results The developed system can sustain frame rates of 59.8 Hz at the full stereovision resolution of 1280 # 480 but this can reach 750 Hz when a 10 k pixel Region of Interest (ROI) is used,

The synchronisation error between the left and right stereo images is less than 100 ps and this has been verifi

The dynamic range of the 10bit sensors exceeds 123 dB with a spectral sensitivity extending well into the
7、 infra-red range. Conclusion The system was subjected to a comprehensive testing protocol, which confirms that the salient require- ments for the driver monitoring application are adequately met and in some respects, exceeded. The synchronization technique presented may also benefit several other au

Moreover, cameras can be used to satisfy several applications at once by re-processing the same vision data in multiple ways, thereby reducin

However, automotive vision still faces several open challenges in terms of optoelectronic-performance, size, reliability, power con- sumption, sensitivity, multi-camera synchronisation, inter- facing and cost.#In this paper,
13、 several of these problems are addressed. As an example, driver head localisation, point of gaze detection and eye blink rate measurement is considered for which the design of a dash-board-mountable automotive stereovision camera system is presented. This was developed as part of a large FP6 Integra

In this way, several real-time parallel imaging processing tasks can be carried out with one sensor. Each ROI is independently programmable on-the-fly with respect to integration time, gain, sub-sampling/binning, position, width and height.#A fairly comprehensive series of “bench tests” were conducted in order to test the
