During a manned real-time reconnaissance mission, | |
providing target information to our military intelligence | |
in a timely, efficient manner is of prime importance. In | |
order to assess target information, the human observer is | |
faced with many influencing variables. The main variables | |
involved during target acquisition consist of the | |
target/background, aircraft, environment, sensor display | |
unit, and the human observer himself. Additionally, for | |
each variable are many other elements which have some | |
influence on the target acquisition process. In acquiring | |
a target during a reconnaissance mission, the human | |
observer has been found to perform this task the most | |
efficiently and economically. Although automatic target | |
detection methods are being pursued to take the place of | |
the human observer, there has been no feasible method of | |
developing a system which has the combined flexibility, | |
programability, quick response, ability to reject | |
clutter, ability to respond to small contrast, ability to | |
respond to high and low ambient illumination, shape and | |
contour matching ability, resolution, ability to detect | |
anomalies in the scenic content, the ability to detect | |
movement and changes, and the ability to make intuitive | |
judgments as the human observer. In addition, the small | |
weight and volume make the human observer a very | |
effective and economical sensor and data analyzer. | |
