Unified Analytical Model of the Effect of Obscurants on Target Acquisition and Engagement Tasks

Abstract

Models of human search and target acquisition are typically based on the assumption of an independent glimpse probability leading to an exponential model of target acquisition probability. This can be extended to the case of obscurants which intermittently interrupt the line of sight to any point of the image field
