Abstract

In this evaluation, a number of experienced imagery analysts provided ratings and comparisons of a number of motion imagery clips and images derived from these clips. The image set was well characterized in terms of target motion, camera motion, and scene complexity, as well as ground sampled distance (GSD). Analysis of the data from this evaluation provides insight into the magnitude of these effects on perceived image interpretability. This paper describes the evaluation, presents the results, and explores the implications for development of a "NIIRS-like" scale for motion imagery.
