XXX test Sample Clauses

XXX test. The Xxxxxxx C test can be used to determine the smallest discernable detail of the camera-monitor system. However, for sensor systems it is more suitable to use the XXX (Triangle Orientation Discrimination) method which is similar to the Xxxxxxx C method, but involves equilateral triangular test patterns. The Triangle Orientation Discrimination method is described in detail by Xxxx & Xxxxxxx (1999), who provide practical guidelines on how to perform a XXX measurement. In the method, triangular test patterns (see Figure 1) are viewed through the viewing system under test. Each triangle can have one out of four possible orientations (apex up, left, right or down) and the observer indicates/guesses for each triangle its orientation. When this procedure is repeated for many (randomly oriented) triangles of different sizes the fraction of correct responses can be plotted (see Figure 2), and increases with test pattern size. The threshold is defined as the point at which the fraction correct crosses the 0.75 level and can be obtained by fitting a smooth function through the data (see Bijl & Valeton, 1999). Critical perception is reached when the critical object diameter equals two times the width of the triangle at threshold size. The smallest discernable detail (ωc) is equal to 0.25 times the width of the triangle at threshold size. This means that, from the threshold triangle width w [m] and the distance between test pattern and the camera D [m] the smallest discernable detail ωc [arcmin] is calculated as follows: Figure 1 ωc  w 4  D  180  60 π Triangular test patterns used in the Triangle Orientation Discrimination (XXX) method Figure 2 Typical relationship between the size of the triangle and the fraction of correct responses Threshold size Test pattern size
