"This study was conducted to determine the speed and accuracy of form recognition as a function of: (1) the amount of distortion between the reference form and the target form, (2) the number of irrelevant forms in the target display, and (3) the stimulus properties of the forms involved. The stimulus forms were generated by filling in, on a statistical basis, some of the cells of a 90,000-cell matrix. The subjects were shown a reference photograph of a target and instructed to locate that target on a display containing numerous other forms. Both criterion measures, viz., search time and errors, increased as a function of: (1) an increase in the number of irrelevant forms on the target display, and (2) an increase in the difference between the resolution of the reference form and that of the target display. A quantitative description of the targets, which can be used to predict relative target difficulty, was developed."--Abstract.

This book is an international collection of contributions from academia, industry and the armed forces. It addresses current and emerging Spatial Vision Models and their application to the understanding, prediction and evaluation of the tasks of target detection and recognition. The discussion in many of the chapters is framed in terms of military targets and military vision aids. However, the techniques analyses and problems are by no means limited to this area of application. The detection and recognition of an armored vehicle from a reconnaissance image are performed by the same visual system used to detect and recognize a tumor in an X-ray. The analysis of the interaction of the human visual system with night vision devices is not different from the analysis needed in the case of an operator examining structures using a remote (endoscopic) camera, etc. The book is organized into three general sections. The first covers basic modeling of central (foveal) vision and its theoretical background. The second is centered on the evaluation of model performance in applications, while the third is dedicated to aspects of peripheral vision modeling and the expansion of peripheral modeling to include visual search.

Genre: Psychophysiology
ISBN:

This report is a review of the literature that might aid in measuring or describing complex images as stimuli, in relating this variable to the psychophysics of target identification, and in further specifying variables that may be important determinants of target identifiability. The body of this report is in four sections: (1) abstracts of articles containing general perceptual material, especially theories of form recognition or target identification; (2) abstracts of articles concerned with the experimental manipulation of perceptual variables known to be important determiners of form recognition and target identification; (3) articles concerned with measuring, changing, or simulating image parameters in some specified manner; and (4) abstracts of articles on the special characteristics of various sensor systems that will affect the resulting images used by the operator.
