ARI Image Interpretation Research: 1970-1980

Abstract

Image interpretation research conducted by the Army Research Institute has produced scientific data on improving the extraction of information from surveillance displays and on the efficient storage, retrieval, and transmission of this information. This report summarizes research on image interpretation completed by ARI between 1970 and 1980, organized according to nine major problem areas. The text presents, for each area, the rationale of ARI's approach to the problem, findings, operational applications, and further research requirements. The research areas are image interpretability, real-time and near real-time imagery interpretation, man/computer decision, processes, change detection, mensuration and coordinate determination, training and proficiency maintenance, key development, and reconnaissance resource management and utilization. Continued utilization of these research findings can enhance the performance of the human component in current systems as well as provide information to system developers to help them provide design specifications for future systems and to determine areas needing further research.
