Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report is one in a series intended to develop methods or models which maximize the use of the scientific literature as a basis for predicting human performance. Such performance has been described as falling into a few simple classes in which the probability of detection, p(D), the reaction time, number correct, etc., are each part of the definition of a unique class of performance. The document is concerned with sensory performance in target detection, defined in terms of the p(D) of a flash of light. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few years have witnessed dramatic advances in computational methods for Bayesian inference. As a result, Bayesian approaches to solving a wide variety of problems in data analysis and decision-making have become feasible, and there is currently a growth spurt in the application of Bayesian methods. The purpose of this volume is to present several detailed examples of applications of Bayesian thinking, with an emphasis on the scientific or technological context of the problem being solved. The papers collected here were presented and discussed at a Workshop held at Carnegie-Mellon University, September 29 through October 1, 1991. There are five ma jor articles, each with two discussion pieces and a reply. These articles were invited by us following a public solicitation of abstracts. The problems they address are diverse, but all bear on policy decision-making. Though not part of our original design for the Workshop, that commonality of theme does emphasize the usefulness of Bayesian meth ods in this arena. Along with the invited papers were several additional commentaries of a general nature; the first comment was invited and the remainder grew out of the discussion at the Workshop. In addition there are nine contributed papers, selected from the thirty-four presented at the Workshop, on a variety of applications. This collection of case studies illustrates the ways in which Bayesian methods are being incorporated into statistical practice. The strengths (and limitations) of the approach become apparent through the examples.
Download or read book Probability Statistics and Reliability for Engineers and Scientists Second Edition written by Bilal M. Ayyub and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-06-26 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually every engineer and scientist needs to be able to collect, analyze, interpret, and properly use vast arrays of data. This means acquiring a solid foundation in the methods of data analysis and synthesis. Understanding the theoretical aspects is important, but learning to properly apply the theory to real-world problems is essential. The second edition of this bestselling text introduces probability, statistics, reliability, and risk methods with an ideal balance of theory and applications. Clearly written and firmly focused on the practical use of these methods, it places increased emphasis on simulation, particularly as a modeling tool, applying it progressively with projects that continue in each chapter. It also features expanded discussions of the analysis of variance including single- and two-factor analyses and a thorough treatment of Monte Carlo simulation. The authors clearly establish the limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of each method, but also show that data analysis is a continuum rather than the isolated application of different methods. Probability, Statistics, and Reliability for Engineers and Scientists, Second Edition, was designed as both a reference and as a textbook, and it serves each purpose well. Ultimately, readers will find its content of great value in problem solving and decision making, particularly in practical applications.

This book was released on 1965 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation was made of the ability of ground observers, unaided by optical or electronic devices, to detect visually each of six reconnaissance aircraft. Calculations are made for a variety of conditions, in altitudes, speeds, and visibilities. Among several conclusions are: (1) the probability of visual detection falls off rapidly as aircraft altitude is decreased below 2000 ft; (2) increasing speed is an effective way to reduce detectability; (3) contrast is a critical factor in determining detectability but is difficult to predict or control.

Download or read book Vision Models For Target Detection And Recognition In Memory Of Arthur Menendez written by Eli Peli and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1995-05-31 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an international collection of contributions from academia, industry and the armed forces. It addresses current and emerging Spatial Vision Models and their application to the understanding, prediction and evaluation of the tasks of target detection and recognition. The discussion in many of the chapters is framed in terms of military targets and military vision aids. However, the techniques analyses and problems are by no means limited to this area of application. The detection and recognition of an armored vehicle from a reconnaissance image are performed by the same visual system used to detect and recognize a tumor in an X-ray. The analysis of the interaction of the human visual system with night vision devices is not different from the analysis needed in the case of an operator examining structures using a remote (endoscopic) camera, etc. The book is organized into three general sections. The first covers basic modeling of central (foveal) vision and its theoretical background. The second is centered on the evaluation of model performance in applications, while the third is dedicated to aspects of peripheral vision modeling and the expansion of peripheral modeling to include visual search.

Download or read book A NEW THEORY OF VISUAL DETECTION written by and published by . This book was released on 1953 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theory of visual detection is presented in which the visual system is considered a communication channel with internal noise. Experimental results confirmed the role of variables which were not purely sensory. The ability of subjects to detect visual signals was measured in one session in which the probability of signal existence was 0.8 and in a second session in which the probability was 0.4. In the second session the actual criteria of seeing changed and the subjects reported seeing things which they were unable to see. The assumptions of this new theory were compared with those of the conventional psychophysical theory.

Book excerpt: An analysis was made of the visual capability of an observer in an aircraft to detect certain military-type targets on the ground. The visibility study was conducted in a general manner so as to be useful in any evaluation of unaided visual detection capabilities in airborne vehicles. General methods were sought for determining the accumulative probability of detecting targets as a function of aircraft speed and altitude, target and background characteristics, and the observer's environment. The methodology derived to ascertain the probabilities of detection for a static observer viewing targets against a visually homogeneous background is described. A method wherein the static detection probabilities may be transformed into the cumulative probabilities for a moving observer searching a limited area for targets is also described. The general problem was studied, and a number of figures for various atmospheric and traget-background conditions were generated. A Soviet JS-III tank was chosen as a typical militarytype ground target. (Author).
