Human Factors Problems in the Development and Use of Image Interpretation Keys,

Abstract

Image interpretation keys are at present the primary reference used by interpreters. Reference keys differ in concept, scope, content, and organization. Interpreters differ in their need for such references and in the way they use them. Research is needed to develop keys of optimum value to the military user and procedures for their optimal use in both manual and automated image interpretation facilities. The purpose for which keys are used, the kinds of keys maintained in the central reference store and in separate smaller image interpretation facilities, and the ways in which keys are used by trainees and operational personnel were examined. Military and civilian experts in the intelligence community were consulted. The literature of research on image interpreter use of reference aids and related subjects was searched. An array of problems encountered in the preparation and use of reference keys was formulated.
