Paper Abstract
This paper is the fifth in a series exploring the possibility of using a synthetic observer to assess the resolution of
both real and synthetic (fused) sensors. The previous paper introduced an Automatic Triangle Orientation Detection
Algorithm (ATODA) that was capable of recognizing the orientation of an equilateral triangle used as a resolution
target, which complemented the Automatic Landolt C Orientation Recognition (ALCOR) software developed
earlier. Three different spectral band sensors (infrared, near infrared and visible) were used to collect images that
included both resolution targets and militarily relevant targets at multiple distances. The resolution targets were
evaluated using the two software algorithms described above. For the current study, subjects viewed the same set of
images previously used in order to obtain human-based assessments of the resolutions of these three sensors for
comparison with the automated approaches. In addition, the same set of images contained hand-held target objects
so that human performance in recognizing the targets could be compared to both the automated and human-based
assessment of resolution for each sensor.
