Two simulator experiments, differing only in field of view (FOV), were conducted to investigate air-to-ground target acquisition with color and black and white television. A television camera obliquely viewed a terrain model from a simulated altitude of 4,000 feet with two FOVs: 4.5 and 3.25 degrees. Subjects searched for green, olive, brown, and earth-colored tanks and trucks as the camera 'flew' over the terrain. It was found that (1) color ...
Four laboratory experiments were conducted to measure the television system resolution degradation caused by motion of the scene being viewed. A closed-circuit TV system was used, which consisted of a Cohu 3100 TV camera and a Conrac RND 9-inch monitor (P-4 phosphor). The system viewed Landolt C, square-wave grid, and vehicle targets moving through the field of view at various velocities. The ability of human observers to detect the pattern ...
