Relative Effectiveness of Different Methods of Stating Image Interpretation Requirements.
Abstract
The Army Image Interpreter working in a tactical environment must be responsive to a number of interpretation requirements. Foremost among these requirements are those for accuracy and completeness of information. Problems arise when these requirements are imposed simultaneously. For example, if the requirement is for completeness of target identification (that is, all targets must be identified), interpreters may respond to doubtful cues and signatures, and achieve completeness at the sacrifice of accuracy. On the other hand, a requirement for high accuracy may lead interpreters to identify only the more discriminable targets, and to ignore doubtful ones. Simply instructing interpreters to be accurate and complete in all situations may not lead to the optimal information output for any particular situation.
