TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author), Withagen, P.J. (author), Schutte, K. (author), Vossenpoel, A. (author), Breuers, M. (author)The aim of the research presented in this paper is to find out whether automatic classification of ships from Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) images is feasible in maritime patrol aircraft. An image processing system has been developed for this task. It includes iterative shading correction and a top hat filter for the detection of the ship. It...conference paper 1999

van Breda, L. (author)A simulator experiment was conducted to determine the potential benefits of an integrated navigation display to improve the navigator's situation awareness. Twelve participants were required to navigate a medium size vessel across a vessel traffic separation scheme. Three integrated navigation display types were used: (i) basic Automatic Radar...conference paper 1999

Injuk, J. (author), van Grieken, R. (author), de Leeuw, G. (author), TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author)The atmospheric input of up to 16 trace and other elements into the North Sea is further assessed from aerosol concentrations measured at a coastal station in Belgium, on ships during two cruises, and on a platform, in the years 1992 - 1994. The Slinn and Slinn model is used to calculate the dry deposition from the measured aerosol...article 1998

Wertheim, A.H. (author), Bos, J.E. (author), Bles, W. (author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)The purpose of the present study was to test the traditional assumption that sea sickness is uniquely provoked by heave motion characteristics, pitch and roll movements being ineffective. In an experi-ment with a ship motion simulator subjects were exposed to pitch, and roll motions in combination with rather weak heave motions that have no...article 1998

Punte, P.A.J. (author), Oudenhuijzen, A.J.K. (author), Hin, A.J.S. (author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)This paper describes part 4 of ATOMOS II task 1.2.3 'Workplace design, guidelines and design tools' for a Ship Control Centre (SCC). The main objective of subtask 1.2.3 was to design a general layout for a future ship control centre of a chemical tanker. During this design process, compro-mises must be made between technical solutions and human...conference paper 1998

van Breda, L. (author), Passenier, P.O. (author), TNO Human Factors Research Inst, Soesterberg, Netherlands (author)A simulator experiment was conducted to determine the potential benefits of path prediction on the navigation performance with channel-bound vessels. Six pilots had to sail an approach channel by a deep draught vessel under critical conditions. For navigation, a basic ARPA radar system was used, supplemented by three types of path predictors....conference paper 1997

TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author), de Jong, A.N. (author), Winkel, J. (author)The range performance of IRST sensors is partly determined by the propagation of the atmosphere. For low altitude targets the boundary layer of the atmosphere introduces a variety of effects due to inhomogeneities, for which model predictions are not yet well validated. For this reason NATO Research Study Group 5 on "Maritime Infrared Target and...conference paper 1997

(author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)In the present study we investigated how monitoring and fault management in a ship control task are affected by complexity and a priori probability of disturbances. Partici-pants were required to supervise four independent shipping subsystems and to adjust the subsystems whenever deviations occurred. However, in order to apply the correct action...article 1996

Huizing, A.G. (author), Bloemen, A.A.F. (author), TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author)The new generation of air defence frigates has to be equipped with a high performance sensor suite to cope with the threat in future maritime scenarios. A multifunction radar (MFR) with a single rotating or multiple fixed phased array antennas is often the key element in this sensor suite because it can perform not only surveillance functions...conference paper 1996

Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium TNO (author), de Jong, A.N. (author)The IR contrast of ships at sea is of importance for those who want to detect or identify the ship and for those who worry about this. This IR contrast is determined by a large number of parameters. Of course temperatures of the ship's structure and those of the ambient sea and air are important, but also important are the reflection properties...conference paper 1993

This paper describes the measuring methods for frequencies below the cut-off frequency of the n = 2 shell mode. The methods show a strong analogy with the two-microphone cross-spectral density method for airborne...article 1990

The nondirectional waveheight spectrum follows by integration over all azimuth angles. These spectra are influenced by noise and interference from several sources, such as speckle, wind influence and shadowing (especially at long ranges...conference paper 1986

Schuffel, H. (author), Instituut voor Zintuigfysiologie TNO (author)As ship bridge design is supposed to support the watch-officer's sensing, information processing and motor-handling activities, the question is raised as to how these processes can be measured. The suggestion is to conduct experiments on different paradigms which together allow general conclusions and interpretation. Two such experiments are...conference paper 1985
