Some Observations on Relative Approaches to Visual Acquisition Modeling

Abstract

For Trinational activities it is necessary eventually to agree on form of acquisition modelling to be used for system assessment. Two types of modelling are available, MRTD/Johnson criteria or ORACLE/CYCLOPS. Also two distinctly different types of assessment are necessary - comparison of existing systems and specification of future systems to meet GST's. The report discusses the relative status of the models, and the requirements of models to fulfil the two tasks. It is concluded that a form of MRTD modelling, starting from either an NVL-based or ORACLE-based foundation, is adequate for routine comparison of existing systems. For specification of future systems a much more rigorous approach is necessary, involving search and peripheral vision. Such an approach is indicated to be available through the B.Ae.D. suite of visual performance models.
