Navigational Checking Using 3D Maps: The Influence of Elevation Angle, Azimuth, and Foreshortening

摘要

Maps help navigators determine their position in the world. We define naviga- tional checking as an aviator's task of continually comparing a map with the for- ward field of view (FFOV). We report two experiments using static three-dimensional (3D) images as the map and FFOV. Participants were asked to judge as quickly and accurately as possible whether the map and FFOV matched or mismatched. Elevation angle, azimuth angle, type of mismatch trial, and image complexity were manipulated; both response time and accuracy were recorded.
