This book was released on 1991 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1971, night vision goggles (NVGs) have been used by the military to enable personnel to perform visual operations in a nighttime environment. The key component of these devices is the image intensifier tube. Currently, no studies were identified which relate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of image intensifiers to human visual acuity. The purpose of the present research was to determine the effect of NVG intensifier tube SNR on visual acuity. Visual acuity, using PVS-7 third generation NVGs, was measured for twelve participants at quarter moon and starlight illumination levels for four intensifier tubes with different SNRs. The range of SNR examined was 11.37 to 17.92. Visual acuity was assessed using Landolt C charts with target contrasts of 20 to 95 percent. The distance at which the acuity targets were resolved was recorded for each of the four illumination and contrast conditions. The results showed that increases in image intensifier tube SNR, illumination level, and contrast affected visual acuity. Regression analyses were performed to obtain estimated equations relating SNR to visual acuity for each experimental condition. The results were used to develop predictive guideline tables to provide approximate percent degradation/ improvement in visual acuity based upon intensifier tube signal-to-noise ratio ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man-Machine-Environment System Engineering: Proceedings of the 22nd Conference on MMESE are an academic showcase of the best papers selected from more than 500 submissions, introducing readers to the top research topics and the latest developmental trends in the theory and application of MMESE. This proceedings are interdisciplinary studies on the concepts and methods of physiology, psychology, system engineering, computer science, environment science, management, education, and other related disciplines. Researchers and professionals who study an interdisciplinary subject crossing above disciplines or researchers on MMESE subject will be mainly benefited from this proceedings MMESE primarily focuses on the relationship between Man, Machine and Environment, studying the optimum combination of man-machine-environment systems. In this system, “Man” refers to working people as the subject in the workplace (e.g. operators, decision-makers); “Machine” is the general name for any object controlled by Man (including tools, machinery, computers, systems and technologies), and “Environment” describes the specific working conditions under which Man and Machine interact (e.g. temperature, noise, vibration, hazardous gases etc.). The three goals of optimization of the man-machine-environment systems are to ensure safety, efficiency and economy. The integrated and advanced science research topic Man-Machine-Environment System Engineering (MMESE) was first established in China by Professor Shengzhao Long in 1981, with direct support from one of the greatest modern Chinese scientists, Xuesen Qian. In a letter to Shengzhao Long from October 22nd, 1993, Xuesen Qian wrote: “You have created a very important modern science and technology in China!”

Download or read book Image Contrast and Visual Acuity Through Night Vision Goggles written by Jeff C. Rabin and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of display contrast and luminance on visual resolution through NVGs. Computer-generated letter charts were used to measure visual acuity across the range of luminances and contrasts one can encounter when viewing an NVG display. The results indicate that display luminance cannot, in itself, account for the level of acuity achieved through NVGs. Understanding the contrast and luminance transfer of NVGs is important for predicting human visual performance, and for developing improved night vision devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of night vision goggles (NVGs) for military applications has grown steadily over the past 30 years. Each successive NVG model represents some kind of improvement in terms of size, weight, ruggedness, gain, noise, spectral sensitivity, field-of-view or resolution. The primary focus of this paper is the determination of NVG resolution. Many methods have been devised to measure the resolving power of NVGs and each method has with it an associated variance or accuracy of measurement. This variance is most likely caused by several sources including observer visual capability (since most methods involve visual observations and judgement to assess NVG resolution). The main purpose of this paper is to present the different methods that have been used to assess NVG resolution and to determine to what extent observer visual capability limits the accuracy of NVG resolution measurement. This study uses a methodology that measures an observer's psychometric function when viewing through NVGs (percent correct detection as a function of spatial separation) to determine their visual acuity using probit analysis.
