The Influence of Figural Complexity on the Detection, Recognition, and Identification of Targets, in Computer Generated Image Displays.

Abstract

Computer-generated images (CGI) or displays in simulators provide a cost-effective approach to training pilots in the use of infra-red and other types of electrooptical (E/O) displays for night flying. The cost of simulating objects on a CIG display is proportional to the amount of display complexity. The present investigation attempted to assess the amount of complexity in simulation necessary for the detection, recognition, and identification of targets in a scene. (Author)
