Efficient Methods for Validating Target Acquisition Models

Abstract

On the basis of target acquisition fundamentals the camouflage assessment model CAMAELEON is presented and especially demands principles and methods for validating the model. By indirect varying the distance to a target using zoom techniques of telescopes effective methods for validating the model have been developed in the visual range as well as in the infrared range. The paper presents the results of validation studies in the visual range and results of CAMAELEON model calculations with the SEARCH DATA image set made available by the TNO Human Factors Research Institute. The results are discussed on the basis of the underlying principles of the CAMAELEON model and the SEARCH DATA evaluations especially of visual lobe. Further investigations on the development of CAMAELEON are presented on the basis of the gathered experiences.
