A video darkroom bench test method, based on the video darkroom bench test platform according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: The information processing unit (300) controls the activation of the multi-functional forward-looking monocular camera controller (200) and the simulation processing unit (400); The simulation processing unit (400) generates a running VTD simulation screen and transmits the VTD simulation screen to the video dark box module (100) for playback; The vehicle information in the VTD simulation screen in the video dark box module (100) is obtained by the multi-functional forward-looking monocular camera controller (200) and transmitted to the information processing unit (300). The information processing unit (300) receives vehicle information and transmits it to the simulation processing unit (400). The simulation processing unit (400) generates, updates and runs the VTD simulation screen based on the vehicle information. After the simulation is completed, the simulation processing unit (400) sends the test data to the information processing unit (300), and the information processing unit (300) generates a report based on the test data.

10. A video darkroom bench test method according to claim 9, characterized in that, The video darkroom module (100) includes a display screen (102); In the step of acquiring vehicle information in the VTD simulation image in the video dark box module (100) through the multi-functional forward-looking monocular camera controller (200), the visual scene calibration between the multi-functional forward-looking monocular camera controller (200) and the display screen (102) is performed to ensure that the distance at which the multi-functional forward-looking monocular camera controller (200) identifies the target object is the same as the set distance.
