Characterization of Real and Simulated Optical Sensors for Advanced Driving-Assistance System

Numerical simulation progressively appears as a more and more valuable advantage in active safety area. Indeed, the development of realistic numerical models enabling to substitute a real truth by a simulated truth is primordial. In order to provide an accurate and cost effective solution to simulate the behavior of real optical sensors, the software Pro-SiVIC™ has been developed. Simulations with the software Pro-SiVIC™ can replace real tests with optical sensors and hence allow substantial cost and time savings during the development of solutions for driver assistance systems. An optical analysis of sensors, allowing the confrontation between real and simulated results and the validation of the optical sensors, is being achieved by IFSTTAR. Thus, an optical platform has been developed to test and characterize any cameras. This platform enables to objectively measure the performance of cameras for all optical and imaging key characteristics. By comparing results from real and simulated sensors with the optical platform, this paper demonstrates that the software Pro-SiVIC™ accurately reproduces real sensors behavior.
