Study of Image Interpreter Use of Aids and Equipment
Abstract
The SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS research program has as its objective the development of scientific data bearing on the extraction of information from imagery obtained through aerial reconnaissance and the efficient storage, retrieval, and transmission of information within an advanced computerized image interpretation facility. Human Factors research on techniques for improving the output of such systems is conducted under Army RDT and E Project 2Q620901A721, 'Surveillance Systems: Ground Surveillance and Target Acquisition Interpreter Techniques,' FY 1969 Work Program. Among the concerns of the Work Unit, 'Influence of DISPLAYS on Image Interpreter Performance,' is the need to develop information on procedures and equipment used to maintain and improve system personnel proficiency, information flow, and duty station assignment for near realtime and infrared image interpretation, as well as for the interpretation of more conventional imagery. BESRL research in this area is conducted as an in- house effort augmented by contracts with organizations selected as having unique capabilities and facilities for research in aerial surveillance. The present study, dealing with interpreter use of aids and equipment, was conducted jointly by personnel of the Advanced Systems Division, System Development Corporation, and of the Behavioral Science Research Laboratory.
