Abstract(in English) AHS (Automated Highway System) will increase the road potential because it enables to shorten the distance between the cars. On the other hand, AHS may make the drivers uncomfortable because of the reduced field of vision by the car ahead and the anxiety for the reliability of the control system. In order to improve the amenity of drivers under the control of AHS, the recovery of driver's field of vision will be essential. In AHS, entire traffic on the highway is visually monitored by a lot of road-side video cameras. In this paper, we propose the NaviCam system. Which utilizes those video images for the recovery of driver's visual field. It enables the driver to observe the behavior of other cars by a bird's-eye view as if he is sitting on a seat 10 meters above his car. The bird's-eye view presented to the driver is generated by combining the video images of the fixed road-side cameras. The proposed algorithm was tested by using a miniature highway model and a real road scene.
