Driver Behavior & Human-Centered Vision

Research Overview

Driving relies on active visual exploration and coordinated head movement. When the available visual field is restricted, drivers may adapt their scanning patterns to compensate for missing information.

This project investigates compensatory head-motion behavior under simulated visual-field limitations. The approach uses synchronized camera views and video-based facial landmark or 3D head-motion analysis to quantify changes in movement patterns across driving conditions.

The methodological focus is on repeatable measurement of motion amplitude, scanning behavior, and temporal characteristics. The longer-term goal is to support human-centered assessment of driving behavior and to better understand how visual constraints change observable motor strategies.
