This paper describes the design, execution and analysis of a perception study measuring the capability of human observers to perform uncued detection of a ship in simulated video imagery. The results indicate the relative importance of the parameters varied: target size in pixels, contrast of the target with the background, time on screen, and operator experience with surveillance video. Based on these results, a set of logistic curves was derived and used to determine V50 and E values suitable for use with the U.S. Army Night Vision Electronic Systems Directorate NV-IPM package.
