Virtual Bookstore Citation Title AN INVESTIGATION OF THE RELIABILITY AND SENSITIVITY OF A POLARIZING VISIBILITY METER. Author(s) Rubinfeld,R. P. ;Jenkins,S. E. ; Corporate Author(s) MATERIALS RESEARCH LABS ASCOT VALE (AUSTRALIA) Report Date 10/1/1980 Page Count 24 Abstract The performance is studied of a 'veiling glare' type of visibilitymeter in which the ratio of veiling glare to direct viewing is controlled bypolarization. It was found that the detectability of standard reference targetswas a function of shape as well as contrast. For this reason, and because ofbetter reproducibility, it is recommended that gratings of different contrastrather than small spots be used as standard reference targets. As a result ofexperience with this instrument it is recommended that the field of view of thefield visibility meter which is being designed be increased to at least 25 deg.(Author) Price: $38.60 Available in hardcopy.
