Abstract
A stereo image and high-accuracy positional data were used to generate and populate a low-fidelity graphics model. The data were acquired 
by a simple mobile mapping system. The use of positional data made it 
possible to generate automatically a sparse model consisting of a road, 
central road marking, a green area, and a skybox. This allowed for 
several applications, such as the synchronization of the model with the 
video and the semiautomatic population of road signs into the model 
data. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the model and the video 
as viable sources for behavioral testing of drivers. The correlations 
between driver speed in response to the model and the video are presented; this presentation allows for an examination of the effect of the 
fidelity of the driving simulator’s visual cue stream. The study results 
were used to compare driver speed in a real vehicle with driver speeds 
in the video and model roads, with correlations of 84.6% (between 
video and ground truth), 87.3% (between model and ground truth), and 
92.8% (between video and model).
