Abstract
The 360 Panoramic view camera System (360 PS) is a commercial-off-the-shelf camera technology that captures and presents the viewer with a 360-degree horizontal view around the camera. Due to its unique ability to monitor in omni-directional, there is potential for operator functions such as surveillance and monitoring, and for enhancing situational awareness of crews operating vehicles with restricted visual field-of-view. This man-in-the-loop evaluation is to study the limitations and capabilities of the system, and enhance its performance for the proposed functions. Two sets of experiments were designed, and carried out to study the man-machine interface (MMI) issues. Subjective and objective data were collected, which allowed us to identify two preferred display modes out of the six factory modes. Graphic user interface (GUI) overlays were then designed for these two display modes.
