Prediction of Airborne Target Detection

The visibility of a uniformly luminous object depends on the apparent contrast between the object and its background, the angular subtense of the object, the contrast threshold of the observer at the level of luminance to which the eyes are adapted, the conditions and technique of observing and the...

Description
Summary:The visibility of a uniformly luminous object depends on the apparent contrast between the object and its background, the angular subtense of the object, the contrast threshold of the observer at the level of luminance to which the eyes are adapted, the conditions and technique of observing and the shape of the object. Techniques for combining the influence of the various factors have been applied to the problem of predicting airborne target detectability. Recommendations for achieving the desired detectability are made. (Author)
