Digital image processing system capabilities and methods offer the experimentalist creative opportunities for exercising precise control over image quality and content parameters in the creation of visual stimuli. The Human Engineering Division of the Air Force Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (AFAMRL) has established the Visual Image Processing, Enhancement, and Reconstruction (VIPER) facility to identify, develop, and apply digital image processing techniques against a variety of Air Force research objectives. This paper describes the VIPER facility and explores several current and planned areas of application.
