Quantifying the Image Quality of the KDC-1O Refuelling Vision System (Debeeldkwaliteit van het KDC-10 bijtank system)

摘要

The image quantity of the KDC-lO refuelling vision system has been evaluated interms of resolution and contrast sensitivity. To this aim a new contrast test was developed. A comparison to other systems shows that the KDC-lO refuelling vision system is particularly tacking in its contrast representation. A recent adjustment to the system partially improved its characteristics. Part of the poor contrast representation is due to the incomplete image separation of the stereoscopic screen. On the basis of a quantitative analysis of the image quality recommendations for further improvement are given.
