Situation Awareness. Report of Break-Out Group 4

摘要

A critical aspect of situation awareness is the level of abstraction of the objects and contents, which are displayed and analysed with a visualisation tool. To get a clear picture of the situation around you do not have to see everything that has been detected/known, but only information that is relevant to your needs. To make sure that the user is not overwhelmed with too much information, one must be able to switch on and off different layers of information as required. The main topic of discussion was the aspect of reliability and uncertainty of collected information. We concluded that the quality of information must be shown. As stated often during the workshop, the visualisation must be simple, clear and well defined. But the definition of simplicity depends on the role and the task of the operator. Operators will use visualization tools only when they see real benefit. As a last point the importance of data fusion was discussed.
