Abstract
A two-phased experimental design is proposed for evaluation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image enhancement techniques. In SAR operation crew tasks are clearly differentiated into cognitive and psychomotor behaviors. Accordingly, Phase I static adaptive learning experiments are designed to assess cognitive (image interpretation) behavior, and Phase 2 real-time simulation experiments assess psychomotor behaviors associated with target designation and tracking. The two-phased paradigm can be effectively applied to any electro-optical image quality/enhancement design study. The two-phases are complementary and offer an improved and more cost effective methodology as contrasted to the use of classical ANOVA designs for the entire procedure.
