Video Acuity Measurement System
(ARC-16661-1)
Overview
Video systems are widely used in public safety and security applications, such as police, fire, emergency medical, commerce, and homeland security. There is an urgent need for a metric to quantify performance of video systems. The metric called video acuity, which is defined as the smallest letters, measured in units of visual angle, can be recognized when viewed through the video system. This automated system for measuring video acuity is based on a model of human letter recognition.
Notes: The Video Acuity Measurement System software is a TRL level 2 software, written in Wolfram language for execution within Mathematica and some documentation.

This software is only available for use by federal employees and contractors to the federal government working on projects where this tool would be applicable.
