Abstract
To increase drivers'' environment awareness during car driving, current cars usually equip blind spot detection system that provides additional visual hints, helping the drivers perceive environmental conditions. However, previous solutions usually provide limited environmental information and require users to frequently check the information, resulting driving distraction. In this thesis, we proposed a “Virtual Rear Mirror”, allowing users to view wide field-of-view environment image through a head-mounted display (HMD) and efficiently reduce driver’s head movement which caused by accessing the left and right rear mirror. The wide FOV image are stitched from images captured by cameras mounted around a commercially-available car, which can assist drivers to perceive the blind spot situation more easily with less gaze distraction. The main contributions of this thesis are stated as follows: (1) Our system allows users to perceive rich environment conditions with less head movement, improving driving focusness. (2) Our solution can be applied to commercially-available cars, greatly lowering down the costs of development.
