A STUDY OF THE ORGANIZATION OF DETECTION AND RECOGNITION SYSTEMS
Abstract
The work on this project is to develop mathematical models of human target-detection behavior through experimental and theoretical investigations in the field of psychophysics. This goal has been attained for a broad class of detection situations, particularly in psychoacoustics. In many cases where mathematical models have not yet been developed, the framework for such development has been established. The results are: (1) a formal development of a method for generating rational mathematical models of human performance in target-detection situations; (2) a development of performance measures, experimental techniques, and presentation equipment to implement the above method; and (3) the actual conduct of experiments with human observers in signaldetection situations for the purpose of developing mathematical models for describing their performance within the framework suggested.
