Frame Rate Effects on Human Spatial Perception in Video Intelligence
Abstract
This thesis examines the effect that the frame rate of a streaming video feed has on one's ability to maintain spatial perception. It defines the current technologies available to capture and encode digital video. It describes the current and near future wireless information systems that could be utilized to support streaming video. This thesis investigates through experimental trials of subjects viewing video streams at different frame rates, the effect those frame rates have on the subject's spatial perception. This thesis analyzes and summarizes the data collected from this experiment and provides recommendations. It is determined that the inherent chaotic nature of tactical movement and the method used to encode digital video are not compatible for video streams with high motion in the three dimensional planes. Results of this analysis suggest that a large amount of bandwidth would be consumed to provide the minimum quality of service indicated by the data and suggests that video to the commanders at the frontline is not a useful allocation of bandwidth.
