Research Simulator of JAXA

Particle Simulator Research Team

Simulation schemes for hydrodynamics and structural analysis can bedivided into grid-based and particle-based methods (see Figure 1). In grid-based methods, the computational region is mapped to regular or irregular grids. Continuous distributions of physical values are represented by discrete values at grid points, and the governing partial differential equation is approximated to a set of fin...

Simulator Sickness Research Summary

Simulator Sickness (SS) is a form of Motion Sickness (MS) that does not require true motion – but does require a wide field of view (FOV) visual display [5, 46, 64]. Like all varieties of MS, an intact vestibular system is necessary to experience SS [12]. It has been called visually induced motion sickness [3, 52, 48] and Cinerama sickness [3, 5, 52]. The term “vection” is used to describe a vi...

PALSAR CALVAL Summary (JAXA-PI193)

This paper summarizes the geometric and radiometric calibration results of the PALSAR achieved during the ALOS initial calibration phase, which covers five months between May 16 2006 and October 23, 2006, and the half-year of the operational phase. All the PALSAR modes, FBS (fine beam single), FBD (Fine beam dual), SCANSAR, DSN (band limited SAR), and POL (Full polarimetry) were calibrated and ...

CARS - Configurable Automotive Research Simulator

This paper introduces CARS, an open source driving simulator tool for evaluating driver distraction. We present the map editor, the driving simulation tool and the analysis tool included in CARS. Based on initial results from initial user studies we illustrate the effectiveness of CARS in evaluating different secondary tasks (e.g., compare different UIs for navigation systems) with regard to dr...
