Methods for Measuring Characteristics of Night Vision Goggles
Abstract
There are many parameters that are used to describe and specify night vision goggles (NVGs) such as resolution, field of view, brightness gain, distortion, etc. However, standardized test procedures for determining the value of these parameters have not been established. Informal comparison studies have shown that measurements of some of these parameters may vary considerably (as much as a factor of two) depending on the method, equipment, and procedures used to make the measurements. The purpose of this technical report is to document specific procedures for measuring most of the major parameters used to specify NVGs to help standardize methodology and improve accuracy and comparability between measuring organizations.
