Performance Evaluation of High Sensitivity Consumer Grade Digital Cameras as On-Board Camera at Night

Abstract

Various kinds of cameras such as 360°camera, action cameras, smartphones, and drive recorders have been utilizing as an on-board cameras for the construction of the Intelligent Transport Systems. However, there are still problems with efficient imaging using on-board cameras. These problems are the influence of sunshine, and shadow or occlusion by the person or cars. On the other hand, the high sensitive functions of consumer grade digital cameras are amazingly increasing, and high sensitive imaging such as ISO409600 was achieved.

In these circumstances, high sensitivity consumer grade digital cameras are enormously expected in imaging at night for solving the above problems, performance evaluations of high sensitivity consumer grade digital cameras are investigated in this paper.
