Validation of a Visual Perception Laboratory and Modeling Using the Fuzzy Logic Approach

Abstract

The purpose of this test is to compare the visual detection of military targets in the TARDEC Visual Perception Laboratory (VPL) with detection performance in the field. Thirty 35mm color slides were used from a Marine Corps field test to validate the test procedures used in the TARDEC Visual Perception Laboratory (VPL). The color slides were of seven military vehicles positioned at tactical range in the desert. The correlation of the laboratory to the field ranged from 0.5 to 0.95 depending on the variables analyzed and questions asked of the subjects. The highest correlation, 0.95, was obtained when comparing identification rates of the vehicles between the field and the lab.
