Standard Spatial Observer Featured on Cover of Information Display Magazine |
|
|
|
An article by Dr. Andrew B. Watson entitled The Spatial Standard Observer: A new tool for display metrology was featured on the cover of the January 2007 issue of Information Display magazine, Vol. 23, No. 1. The Spatial Standard Observer is a tool developed at ARC for design, specification, and inspection of visual displays. It includes a software algorithm that incorporates a simple model of human-visual sensitivity to spatial contrast for use in a wide variety of display inspection and measurement applications. Spatial Standard Observer provides the ability to automatically measure mura (blemishes) in flat panel displays and will improve the efficiency and thus lower the cost of automated manufacture of large flat-panel displays. Spatial Standard Observer also being applied to a wide range of aerospace problems, including visibility of UAVs, legibility of fonts, and discriminability of cockpit symbols. NASA U.S. and foreign patents have been filed.
