Switching from forward-looking infrared to night vision goggles: transitory effects on visual resolution.
Helmet-mounted displays under development for rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft will allow the user to switch electronically between forward-looking infrared (FLIR) and night vision goggle (NVG) sensors. These sensor transitions potentially involve large changes in display luminance which could transiently impair visual resolution and performance. The purpose of this study was to identify the dis...
متن کاملImage Contrast and Visual Acuity Through Night Vision Goggles
Night vision goggles (NVGs) intensify ambient illumination making it possible to see in the dark despite insufficient light for normal vision. NVGs are used for military and civilian operations, and as visual aids for night blindness. The quality and quantity of vision achieved through NVGs depends on several factors including the intensity of ambient radiation, the integrity of NVG electro-opt...
متن کاملNo . 94 - 17 Vernier Acuity Through Night Vision
Night vision goggles (NVG’ s) are being used increasingly in military and civilian environments. Despite the use of these devices, relatively few tests exist to assess visual performance through NVG’ s. Hyperacuity tasks may provide a sensitive index of performance through night vision devices. In this study, grating vernier acuity was measured through NVG’ s. AS reported previously, a power la...
متن کاملMethods for NVG Visual Acuity Determination
Visual acuity (resolution) is the most important and frequently stated characteristic of night vision goggles (NVGs). It is often used as the main parameter to compare the quality of different kinds of NVG. The resolution of the optoelectronic systems is typically defined in military standards as the maximal spatial frequency of a standard line pattern that can be resolved by an observer at a c...
