Abstract

The probability of detection of moving small and point targets embedded in random, white noise on a TV display has been measured for the human observer and compared to the observer’s performance for detection of larger images; the improvement in detection performance by the insertion of cues onto the TV display is shown; and the probability of detection by machine-processed pattern recognition techniques is compared to the performance of the human observer.
