(author), Brauer, U. (author), Wolff, M. (author)Manned long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars set high operational, human factors and technical demands for a distributed support system, which enhances human-machine teams' capabilities to cope autonomously with unexpected, complex and potentially hazardous situations. Based on a situated Cognitive Engineering (sCE) method, we specified a...conference paper 2008

Smets, N.J.J.M. (author), te Brake, G.M. (author), Lindenberg, J. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)In the near future, first responders may become equipped with mobile devices providing navigation, decision and communication support. Because of the complex and chaotic circumstances in which these devices will be used, the devices should support the creation and maintenance of adequate situation awareness. Extensive testing of such devices for...conference paper 2007

Sierksma, T. (author), Hoekstra, J. (author), Jansen, B. (author), Boltjes, B. (author), van den Oever, J. (author), TNO Informatie- en Communicatietechnologie (author)In 2006 it became clear for the Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA) that the traditional concept for exchanging data in the mobile domain, based upon hierarchical radio nets, could not offer sufficient performance for the future Battlefield Management System' (BMS). The C2 Support Centre, who develops the BMS, became aware of the insufficient...conference paper 2007

de Greef, T.E. (author), Lafeber, H. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)At present a number of studies have attempted to embed eye-tracking devices into closed-loop systems to augment the cognitive state of the human operator. It has been demonstrated that the pupil diameter and blinking frequency serve as such indicators. Although these two factors serve cognitive state analysis , other measures are required that...conference paper 2007

Hogervorst, M.A. (author), Toet, A. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)We developed a fast and efficient method to derive and apply a natural colour mapping for night-time imagery from multi-band sensors. The colour mapping is derived from the combination of a multi-band image and a corresponding natural colour reference image. The mapping optimizes the match between the multi-band image and the reference image,...conference paper 2007

TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), de Greef, T.E. (author), Arciszewski, H.F.R. (author)On Navy ships, technological developments enable crews to work more efficiently and effectively. However, in such complex, autonomous, and information-rich environments a competition for the users' attention is going on between different information items, possibly leading to a cognitive overload. This overload originates in the limitations of...bookPart 2007

Toet, A. (author), Hogervorst, M.A. (author), van der Hoeven, M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Subjects used the dichoptic combination of a monocular image intensifier (NVG) and a monocular uncooled microbolometer (LWIR) to detect and localise both visual targets and camouflaged thermal targets while moving through a dimly lit complex environment. The NVG imagery enabled the subjects to move freely through the environment with high...conference paper 2006

Oomes, A.H.J. (author), Neef, R.M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)We present the design of an information system that supports the process of scaling-up of emergency response organizations. This process is vital for effective emergency response but tends to go awry in practice. Our proposed system consists of multiple distributed agents that are capable of exchanging organizational information. Each agent...conference paper 2005

TNO Technische Menskunde (author), Wilson, G. (author), Schlegel, R.E. (author), Veltman, J.A. (author)The human operator is a crucial component of complex modern systems. The complexity of these systems, the rapid tempo of contemporary military operations and reduced staffing all contribute to the high cognitive demands experienced by military personnel. Unfortunately, these systems do not account for the functional state of the human operator....report 2004

Toet, A. (author), Franken, E.M. (author)Human scene recognition performance was tested with images of night-time outdoor scenes. The scenes were registered both with a dual band (visual and near infrared) image intensified low-light CCD camera (DII) and with a thermal middle wavelength band (35 mm) infrared (IR) camera. Fused imagery was produced through a grayscale pyramid image...article 2003

TNO Technische Menskunde (author), Kooi, F.L. (author), Toet, A. (author)Image fusion is the generally preferred method to combine two or more images for visual display on a single screen. We demonstrate that perceptual image separation may be preferable over perceptual image fusion for the combined display of enhanced and synthetic imagery. In this context image separation refers to the simultaneous presentation of...conference paper 2003

Neerincx, M.A. (author), Lindenberg, J. (author)Based on new Web-technology a new user interface paradigm is being developed: the Network User Interface (NUI). This paradigm provides new possibilities for the interaction with services for information and commerce, but it also introduces new problems such as disorientation and labourious navigation. The assumption is that some of these...article 1999

van Erp, J.B.F. (author)Situation awareness (SA) is frequently mentioned in relation to ergonomics and as explanation for numerous human errors, ranging from plain crashes to losing one's way on the world wide web. The increasing complexity of the society and workplace, will also lead to an increasing role for SA. However, despite the fact that most designers have a...conference paper 1999
