Strategies for the Interpretive Integration of Ground and Aerial Views in UGV Operations

Abstract

Two experiments examined the cognitive process of aerial view target localization. Participants were shown ground-view images with designated targets, and tasked with locating the target in an aerial view. The first study examined photographic image sets in both a qualitative and quantitative manner, including a think-aloud protocol analysis. The second study used manipulated three dimensional model images to isolate effects of color, shape, and other attributes. Results show a strong cue dominance effect for unique colors, sex differences, and minor view angle effects. We discuss a proposed cognitive model for this task and suggest recommendations for assistive unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) interface features.
