11 April 2008Effect of image magnification on target acquisition performance
The current US Army target acquisition models have a dependence on magnification. This is due in part to the
structure of the observer Contrast Threshold Function (CTF) used in the model. Given the shape of the CTF,
both over-magnification and under-magnification can dramatically impact modeled performance. This paper
presents the results from two different perception studies, one using degraded imagery and the other using field
imagery. The results presented demonstrate the correlation between observer performance and model prediction
and provide guidance accurately representing system performance in under and over-magnified cases.
