Development and Evaluation of the Panoramic Night Vision Goggle
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel approach to significantly increasing the field of view (FOV) of night vision goggles (NVGs) has been developed and demonstrated. This approach uses four image intensifier tubes instead of the usual two to produce a very wide 100 degree horizontal by about 4 0 degree vertical FOV. A conceptual working model, designated the Panoramic NVG, has been fabricated and evaluated.

Development of an Automatic Testing Platform for Aviator’s Night Vision Goggle Honeycomb Defect Inspection
Due to the direct influence of night vision equipment availability on the safety of night-time aerial reconnaissance, maintenance needs to be carried out regularly. Unfortunately, some defects are not easy to observe or are not even detectable by human eyes. As a consequence, this study proposed a novel automatic defect detection system for aviator's night vision imaging systems AN/AVS-6(V)1 an...
متن کاملAn assessment of a proposed method for adjusting and focusing ANVIS night vision goggles.
Night vision goggles are becoming an increasingly important tool in military aviation. They provide superior visual capability over unaided night vision, but any reduction in goggle performance can have a serious effect on flight safety and operational effectiveness. This study shows that the use of a standard adjustment procedure in a night vision goggle (NVG) test lane, with a resolution char...
متن کاملAssessing Night Vision Goggle Performance in Security Applications
Police and border security operations are an important and growing application of night vision devices (NVDs). NVDs improve visibility at night but suffer from a variety of perceptual artifacts and human factors issues. In a series of helicopter-based flight trials we analyzed subject performance on model tasks based on typical security applications. Subjects performed the tasks under condition...
متن کاملAn unsupervised learning model of neural plasticity: Orientation selectivity in goggle-reared kittens
The selectivities of neurons in primary visual cortex are often considered to be adapted to the statistics of natural images. Accordingly, simple cell-like tuning emerges when unsupervised learning models that seek sparse representations of input probabilities are trained on natural scenes. However, orientation tuning develops before structured vision starts, rendering these previous results mo...
