Dynamic Target Identification on Television as a Function of Display Size, Viewing Distance, and Target Motion Rate.
Abstract
The report describes the results of a research study whose goal was the evaluation of the effects of (1) television display size, (2) display degradation, (3) observer viewing distance, and (4) target motion rate on target identification performance. Appendixes to the report describe (1) a reconnaissance transparency projection system used to simulate the televisual air-to-surface tactical target attacks used as test material in this study and (2) a rating procedure used to compare target briefing photographs in terms of qualities important for target identification. The target ratings are then used to predict target identification performance in the simulated target attacks. (Author)
