... This report explores limiting visual capabilities by ignoring any limitations imposed by environment or by aircraft structure. Established techniques for the prediction of the limiting range at which objects can be visually detected have been extended by means of new history and new data and guided in application by reconnaissance experiments at model scale.

... Session II was designed to provide up-to-date information about some representative technical and procedural aspects of conducting research on form discrimination. Session III presented experimental results relating form to the elementary visual detection process.

... Operations analysis, detection theory, visual psychophysics, and atmospheric optics were considered to be among the areas of possible contributions to the development of a theory of a successful visual search calculation and of experimental verification. The purpose of the symposium was to bring together both operational and research experts on visual search techniques to examine operational practices and visual research data in order to develop optimal techniques and procedures.

... The procedures employed by occupational analysts in the military services to determine the required visual skills do not differ from those used to determine the mental, physical, biographical, and other requisites for a position. Thus, the statement of the visual requirements of any position stem from the subjective evaluations made by the occupational analyst.

... Over 500 papers have been written about what can be seen by the airborne observer using unaided vision, and much attention has been given to what the interpreter can see in an aerial photograph. Despite this effort, specific questions asked about the use of the eyes to detect, recognize, and identify objects in the ground for purposes of navigation, interdiction, rescue operations, and intelligence gathering continue to be very difficult to answer.
