Abstract

Driving recorder has become one the necessary equipment for the current automotive. In Taiwan, there are various brands driving recorder with different capabilities, and almost all of the automotives are installed at least one set of driving recorder. The main function of driving recorder is to record the road video in case of clarify for the responsibility of an accident or unexpected situations. Therefore, the design of driving recorder will focus on the higher recorded video quality as well as higher compression ratio in order to take up less storage space. This paper mainly discusses the different video codec technologies and evaluates their performance on the driving recorder applications. The video codec technologies mentioned in this paper includes the early MPEG-4, currently H.264, and the newest H.265. This paper simulates these three different video codecs, i.e., MPEG-4, H.264, and H.265 to evaluate their coding performances on 6 road videos captured from different vehicle speeds. Then this paper will find the appropriate video codec for the specific vehicle speed as well as road conditions. The experimental results could provide a well reference for the selection of driving record video codec.
