Sheffer, Albert D., Cathcart, J. Michael, Faust, Nickolas L., Montgomery, James I. and Doll, Theodore J. (1991): Computer-Generated Infrared Imagery for Combat-Vehicle Identification Training. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1507-1511.

“Development of a computer-based system for generating simulated infrared (IR) imagery is described. The system provides realistic representations of IR targets and backgrounds for training soldiers in combat vehicle identification (CVI). Simulations of several fielded IR sensors enables system users to generate training imagery sets, both snapshots and animated sequences, showing realistic sensor effects. The system is workstation-based and has a user interface that permits a non-expert to generate desired imagery sets from menus of available models and scenarios.”

Doll, Theodore J., Cathcart, J. Michael and Schmieder, David E. (1988): Infrared Target Detection in Structured Urban Scenes. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 1324-1328.

“An experiment was conducted to measure observers' performance in detecting military targets in structured scenes with a high density of man-made features, i.e., "urban clutter". The scenes were simulations of those produced by an infrared (IR) imaging system in air-to-ground situations. Scenes were generated with various signal-to-clutter ratios (SCR's), and were filtered to produce various levels of resolution. Detection performance was measured using a rating-scale detection task. Sensitivity (d') increased with resolution, but varied little with SCR. Contrary to expectation, detection performance for a given level of resolution and SCR was better in the present urban scenes than in rural scenes used in a previous study. The findings help define requirements for the design and employment of IR imaging systems, and also suggest directions for future research directed at better understanding target detection processes in structured backgrounds.”
