Helicopter Armament Program. Air-to-Ground Target Detection and Identification

Abstract

When government or other drawings, specifications or other data are used for any purpose other than in connection with a definitely related government procurement operation, the U. S. Government thereby incurs no responsibility, nor any obligation whatsoever; and the fact that the Government may have formiulated, furnished, or in any way supplied the said drawings, specifications, or other data is not to be regarded by implication or otherwise as in any manner licensing the holder or any other person or corporation, or conveying any rights or permission to manufacture, use or sell any patented invention that may in any way be related thereto.

Research on Visual Target Detection. Part I. Development of an Air-to-Ground Detection/Identification Model

“…Range, or distance from the observer to the target, may refer to either ground-to-ground distance or air-to-ground slant range. Range has been varied in a number of field studies (e. g., Moler, 1962;Wokoun, 1960;Rose, 1945;Whittenburg, 1959b). Typical results (from Blackwell,et al,!958), shown in Figure 10, indicate an ogive-shaped function between recognition probability and range.…”
