摘要

We have designed an experiment that compares the performance of human observers and a scale-insensitive target detection algorithm for the detection of ground targets in passive infrared imagery. Though the algorithm performed at considerably higher false alarm rates as compared to human observers, detection was comparable, and it did so using simple pixel level features only. The test database contains targets near clutter whose detectability ranged from easy to very difficult. Results indicate that human observers detect more "easy-to-detect" targets, and with far fewer false alarms, than the algorithm. For "difficult-to-detect" targets, human and algorithm detection rates are considerably degraded, and algorithm false alarms excessive. Analysis of detections as a function of observer confidence shows that algorithm confidence attribution does not correspond to human attribution, and does not adequately correlate with correct detections. The best target detection score for any human observer was 84%, as compared to 55% for the algorithm for the same false alarm rate. At 81%, the maximum detection score for the algorithm, the same human observer had 6 false alarms per frame as compared to 29 for the algorithm. Individually, human observers detected no more than 84% of the targets; whereas, taken collectively the seven observers tested detected 96% of the targets. Analysis of performance as a function of range to target indicates that for both algorithm and human observers, performance degrades with increasing range to target, and that at any level of detection and range human false alarm rejection is at least 10 times better than that of the algorithm. Although no human, infrared imagery, experts were used for this testing the performance of the seven human observers shows that human observers with little to no previous experience performed about as well as observers with extensive previous experience. Detector ROC curves and observer-confidence analysis benchmarks the algorithm and provides insights into algorithm deficiencies and possible paths to improvement.
