Abstract

Direct view optics is a class of sensors to include the human eye and the human eye coupled to rifle scopes, spotter scopes, binoculars, and telescopes. The target acquisition model for direct view optics is based on the contrast threshold function of the eye with a modification for the optics modulation transfer function and the optical magnification. In this research, we extend the direct view model for the application of facial identification. The model is described and the experimental method for calibrating the task of human facial identification is discussed.
