Effects of distance and eye-height on time-to-contact estimates

A new perspective on CMS – testing the effect of camera displacement in a realistic lane-change task

“…Freedom of exterior camera placement is an opportunity for optimizing CMS, but also entails risks. In other contexts, vertical perspective change has been shown to affect distance and time-to-contact estimation (Daum & Hecht, 2009;Hecht et al, 2015;Leyrer et al, 2015;Ooi et al, 2001;Steward et al, 1993). Effects on distance estimation also generalize to CMS (Bernhard & Hecht, 2020).…”
