Vision is the primary sense used to navigate through this world when driving, walking, biking, or performing most tasks. and thus visibility is a critical concern in the design of roadways, pathways, vehicles, buildings, etc. and the investigation of accidents. In order to assess visibility, the accident scene can be documented under similar conditions. Geometric and photometric measurements can be taken for later analysis. Calibrated photographs or video of a recreated scene can be captured to illustrate the visibility at a later time. This process can often require significant coordination of the physical features at the scene. It can be difficult to precisely control the motion and timing of moving features such as pedestrians and vehicles. The result is fixed in that you capture specific scenarios with specific conditions with the selected field of view and perspective of the cameras used.
