Design of Interface and Algorithms for an Image Quality Tester

Abstract

The objectives of the work reported here were to design and integrate a communications interface and software procedures (i.e., algorithms) for image processing for a helmet mounted display (HMD) image tester. This is a continuation of a previous effort entitled "Preliminary Design of an Image Tester for Helmet Mounted Display." The proposed image quality tester consists of hardware (including camera, lenses, sensors, and fixtures) and software for image capture and analysis. The interface and image processing algorithms are essential components of this system. The interface bridges the gap between hardware devices and software applications, and thus makes information integration possible. The algorithms process, analyze, and characterize the test pattern information generated by an HMD.
