Target Acquisition Model Development: Effect of Realistic Terrain.

Abstract

The research obtained data on the effect of realistic background scene complexity on tactical vehicle target detection and the interaction of scene complexity with electro-optical sensor and display variables. Data were obtained which verified that performance prediction could be accomplished using selected metrics describing the characteristics of the background scene. The obtained data were used to investigate potential forms of a detection model which includes the influence of the scene. Finally the influence of field-of-view and method of sensor search on detection performance were assessed. (Author)
