Book excerpt: Forty-four military participants were tested in a field experiment to compare the relative discomfort experienced when monocular versus biocular night vision goggles (NVGs) were worn for an extended period of time. Participants traversed wooded terrain to reach various stations where they performed a variety of military and field craft tasks. The total test time was 4 hours. The participants rated their psychological and physiological feelings of discomfort at the completion of the test and again the following evening. Objective measures of NVG optical adjustments were also recorded. The participants who wore the biocular goggle reported a higher incidence of tight neck muscles than did the participants who wore the monocular goggle. However, no other significant differences in discomfort were found that could be attributed to the ocular configuration of the goggles. All participants complained about discomfort from the head harness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research examined the capabilities of virtual environments to simulate night vision goggle (NVG) effects. Different solutions for simulating NVG images were assessed. Two conditions simulated NVGs but used different software approaches. Two additional conditions simulated unaided night environments that required soldiers to wear NVGs. Four-man infantry teams conducted urban operation missions under each condition. Objective assessments were obtained on the number of events correctly detected and the average time required to detect an event. Subjective assessments of task difficulty and image fidelity were also made. No significant differences were found across night conditions for either event detection or time. Significant differences in task difficulty ratings occurred for movement, visual detection, and maintaining situation awareness. In general, tasks were more difficult to perform while wearing the NVGs compared to simulated versions of NVG images. Soldiers also ranked the conditions involving actual NVGs as more realistic. The unique contribution of virtual environments for night operations training may be at the entry level. However, specific image fidelity issues associated with the use of NVGs in simulated unaided night environments must be addressed if this approach is to be used as an effective training medium."--Stinet.

This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using laboratory simulations, visual performance was measured at luminance and night vision imaging system (NVIS) radiance levels typically encountered in the natural nocturnal environment. Comparisons were made between visual performance with unaided vision and that observed with subjects using image intensification. An Amplified Night Vision Imaging System (ANVIS6) binocular image intensifier was used. Light levels available in the experiments (using video display technology and filters) were matched to those of reflecting objects illuminated by representative night-sky conditions (e.g., full moon, starlight). Results show that as expected, the precipitous decline in foveal acuity experienced with decreasing mesopic luminance levels is effectively shifted to much lower light levels by use of an image intensification system. The benefits of intensification are most pronounced foveally, but still observable at 20 deg eccentricity. Binocularity provides a small improvement in visual acuity under both intensified and unintensified conditions. Bradley, Arthur and Kaiser, Mary K. Ames Research Center ...

Download or read book Human Factors Evaluation of Night Vision Goggle Design: written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study utilizes the repertory grid technique to elicit & determine the desirable characteristics of night vision goggle design from the perspective of soldiers who are familiar with night vision goggle & night-time terrain traverse operations. Four types of goggles, selected based on their different engineering designs, were tested by 31 soldiers in exercises on four different types of terrain: dense woods, open woods, open country, and urban town. Content analysis of the 83 concepts or criteria elicited from the soldiers were converged & mapped onto 25 night vision goggle concept categories. Further cluster analysis revealed three meaningful clusters of concepts, namely functionality, comfort, and usability. Application of the repertory grid identified meaningful & relevant criteria to evaluate the goggles; allowed for the formulation of a path model for a general equipment evaluation process; indicated relative design strengths or weaknesses of the goggles tested; and led to a recommended design for a dual configuration hybrid night vision goggle for further testing & development.

(The Effects of Monocular and Binocular Nightvision Devices on Driving Behaviour and Comfort). written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under contract of the Royal Dutch Army, a field experiment was conducted in which night-time driving with monocular and binocular night vision goggles (NVGs) was tested in rough terrain. The effects of the NVGs was tested on driving behavior and on various aspects of comfort. The results give answer to a number of questions that were raised concerning the optimal configuration of NVGs while driving at night. Drivers are able to drive safely at night with binocular night vision devices, also with a binocular alignment error. No serious problems related to a lack of wearing comfort or visual comfort were found. Driving with a monocular NVG results in equally good performance. However, some of the drivers were not able to complete the two hour session, implying that binocular devices are more suitable for prolonged driving. Also. the visual comfort was rated lower for the monocular NVG. The most common reason given for stopping before the end of the session with a monocular NVG is that they would not have continued driving under operational conditions' implying that the monocular NVG would be insufficient in unknown terrain. The binocular devices are rated positively by the drivers.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of humans who traversed off-road terrain while wearing monocular, biocular, and binocular night vision goggles was examined. The difficulties that each of 35 male participants encountered while walking through rough terrain and wearing the three types of goggles were scored by independent observers. Participants themselves also rated several qualities of the goggles and ranked the goggles overall. In general, results indicated that the binocular goggle yielded better performance and was preferred to the other two goggles and that the biocular and the monocular goggles showed no consistent difference for any of the four sets of dependent measures.

Book excerpt: This document was developed to aid in the evaluation of the use of night vision goggles (NVG's) by civil helicopter pilots. This report was used to prepare pilots to participate in the flight test program. The principal task was to determine if there are any unresolved safety issues that would preclude pilot use of NVG's during helicopter operations under Federal Aviation Regulations Parts 91 or 135. Certainly NVG's can enable a pilot to 'see better' at night and to accomplish certain flight objectives. However, the question is, is safety degraded during any phase of the flight operation if pilots use these devices. Even if the use of NVG's dramatically improves operational effectiveness, current safety margins must be maintained or improved during all phases of flight. This report is one of three documents that were developed for evaluating the use of night vision goggles (NVG's) by EMS helicopter pilots.
Book Synopsis Feasibility of Using the AN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device for Pilotage by :
Download or read book Feasibility of Using the AN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device for Pilotage written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device (MNVD) high performance image' intensification system was designed for ground. use. During a USAARL optical and visual evaluation of the MNVD, the authors noted that the user could fuse the intensified image with the unaided or nondisplay viewing eye. The fused images from the right and left eyes provided some color and depth perception under certain night lighting conditions and allowed the unaided eye to remain dark adapted. This assessment explored the potential use of the MNVD for pilotage using two experienced night vision goggle (NVG) UH-60 pilots and two experienced AH-64 pilots, who also used the helmet display unit (HDU) with symbology and thermal imagery.

Book Synopsis Visual Acuity and Stereopsis with Night Vision Goggles by :
Download or read book Visual Acuity and Stereopsis with Night Vision Goggles written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements of visual performance (stereopsis and visual resolution) were acquired to compare results achieved using unaided monocular and binocular viewing, monocular and binocular viewing with the AN/PVS-5A night vision goggles, and models A and B of the AN/PVS-7 biocular night vision goggles. All of the goggles were equipped with 2nd generation tubes. Using a modified Howard- Dolman apparatus to assess stereopsis, all of the goggle-assisted thresholds were very much larger than stereoscopic thresholds achieved with unaided binocular vision. Statistical analysis of the results indicated that stereopsis through night vision goggles, regardless of the model or viewing condition, is essentially eliminated and equivalent to the threshold obtained with unaided monocular viewing. In comparison, spatial resolution capability with all of the goggle systems is superior to performance with unaided vision. In agreement with previously published data, visual acuity with the goggles is approximately 20/ 50, but only for high contrast targets and simulated full moon ambient light levels. As light levels decrease to quarter moon conditions or target contrasts are reduced to more realistic values, visual spatial resolution with the goggles is much poorer. For infantry use, any differences in visual performance between monocular, biocular, and binocular designs probably are not operationally meaningful.
