TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Security cameras in taxicabs with three rows of seating JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Zeng, Shengke SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Taxicab security cameras are widely used to deter crimes against taxicab-drivers in two-row-seating taxicabs. Some of these cameras have difficulty for use in three-row-seating taxicabs due to increased distance between the camera and the third-row seats. This project tested five sample taxicab security cameras with different image-sensor pixel counts to determine their utility for three-row-seating taxicabs. The cameras videotaped a normalized camera resolution test chart mounted in the third-row seat of a simulated three-row-seating taxicab in both daylight and dark (with infrared radiation) conditions. The camera resolution of each camera was measured and compared with the resolution threshold for customer facial identification. A dome-mounted camera with a standard-definition image-sensor is suggested as an effective camera in sustaining high camera resolution with small data file size for facial identification in the third-row seats. The image-sensors with at least 1280×720 pixels are suggested for windshield-mounted cameras in three-row-seating taxicabs for facial identification.
