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 ...
A method is described for using the photosimulation laboratory environment to evaluate the effectiveness of camouflage for military vehicles. There are distinct advantages to acquiring images at the field site and then bringing them back for observer testing in a laboratory environment. Laboratory testing provides a repeatable, secure, and low-cost way to generate realistic performance data for vehicle evaluation for the purpose of signature testing, measurement of the effectiveness of ...
The fusion of visual and infrared sensor images of potential driving hazards in static infrared and visual scenes is computed using the Fuzzy Logic Approach (FLA). The FLA is presented as a new method for combining images from different sensors for achieving an image that displays more information than either image separately. Both Mamdani and ANFIS methods are used. The fused sensor images are compared to metrics to measure the ...
