NaviView: visual assistance by virtual mirrors at blind intersection

Abstract

We propose a vision support system "NaviView" as visual assistance for safe driving based on augmented reality technique. "NaviView" is a system to realize visual assistance for drivers by utilizing images obtained from roadside surveillance cameras. In this paper, we propose virtual mirrors that display geometrically reshaped images taken from the surveillance cameras to support safe driving at a blind intersection. We proved the usefulness of the proposed method by comparing virtual mirrors with normal mirrors at a blind intersection under CG simulation environment.
