Abstract

This paper describes an experiment that measures participants' preferences regarding the perceptual image quality of a sight effectiveness enhancement system for cars. One normal video recording and three different types of infrared recordings (long wave, short wave and a data fusion of the two) were compared. Eye-movement data revealed that the long wave infrared display was preferred to a significant degree in detection tasks, whereas no particular display was preferred in maneuvering tasks. The results promote the qualities of the long wave infrared images in obstacle detection. The paper focuses on the use of eye movements and subjective evaluations as primary measures.
