چکیده

The operational (airborne) Enhanced/Synthetic Vision System will employ a helmet-mounted display with a background synthetic image encompassing a fused inset sensor image. In the present study, three subjects viewed an emulation of a descending flight to a crash site displayed on an SVGA monitor. Independent variables were: 3 fusion algorithms; 3 visibility conditions; 2 sensor conditions; and 9 sensor/synthetic image misregistration conditions. The task was to detect specified terrain features, objects and image anomalies as they became visible in 16 successive fused image snapshots along the flight path. The fusion of synthetic images with corresponding sensor images supported consistent subject performance with the simpler algorithms (averaging and differencing). Performance with the more complex opponent process algorithm was less consistent and more image anomalies were generated. Reductions in synthetic scene resolution did not degrade performance, but elevation source data errors interfered with scene interpretation. These results will be discussed within the context of operational requirements.

Combining of Magnitude and Direction of Change Indices to Unsupervised Change Detection in Multitemporal Multispectral Remote Sensing Images

In remote sensing, image-based change detection techniques, analyze two images acquired over the same area at different times t1 and t2 to identify the changes occurred on the Earth's surface. Change detection approaches are mainly categorized as supervised and unsupervised. Generating the change index is a key step for change detection in multi-temporal remote sensing images. Unsupervised chan...

Psychophysical Comparisons of Single- and Dual-band Fused Imagery

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a dual-band sensor fused image improves visual performance compared to a single-band image. Specifically, we compared behavioral performance using images from an uncooled LIMIRS long-wave infrared sensor and a Fairchild image intensified low-light CCD, against these same images after they had been ‘fused’ by combining both spectral bands into...

Detection of the wheat rust disease infected farms using Landsat images

The goal of this study is to identify farms which are affected by wheat rust disease. For this, the sensor data of Landsat 7 satellites in growing season of 2013 and 2014 along with some laboratorial data containing reflectance spectrum of leaf and leaf health degree in different levels of disease are used. The reflectance values of leaf are collected by an ASD spectroradiometer in the range of...
