Brouwer, A.M. (author), Hogervorst, M.A.J. (author), Oudejans, B. (author), Ries, A.J. (author), Touryan, J. (author)In a visual search task, we compared electroencephalography (EEG) and eye-tracking features following saccades on targets that were subsequently reported (hits) and targets that were not (misses). Previous work showed similar saccade-related potentials (SRPs) between missed targets and nontargets, but in that work targets were probably not...bookPart 2018

Brouwer, A.M. (author), Hogervorst, M.A. (author), Oudejans, B.A. (author), Ries, A.J. (author), Touryan, J. (author)EEG and eye tracking variables are potential sources of information about the underlying processes of target detection and storage during visual search. Fixation duration, pupil size and event related potentials (ERPs) locked to the onset of fixation or saccade (saccade-related potentials, SRPs) have been reported to differ dependent on whether...article 2017

Dol, H.S. (author)The timely detection of small hazardous objects at the sea surface, such as drifting mines, is challenging for ship-mounted sensor systems, both for underwater sensor systems like sonar and above-water sensor systems like radar and electro-optics (lidar, infrared/visual cameras). This is due to the low target echo strength and radar/lidar cross...conference paper 2014

Nijhoff, M.J.J. (author)Current methods of automatic target detection and classification using low- to mid- frequency sonar are based on correlating the measured Target In the Environment Response (TIER) of potential targets with the TIERs in a database of known objects. Obtaining experimental TIER measurements of proud, partially and fully buried objects to populate...conference paper 2014

Nijhof, M.J.J. (author), Espana, A. (author), Williams, K. (author)An efficient model for the Target In Environment Response (TIER) of buried/half buried, mine-like objects and UXOs is essential for the development and training of automatic target detection and classification methods and for use in sonar performance prediction models. For instance, to investigate the influence of burial depth and orientation on...conference paper 2013

Hancock, P.A. (author), Mercado, J.E. (author), Merlo, J. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author)The present experiment tested 60 individuals on a multiple screen, visual target detection task. Using a within-participant design, individuals received no-cue augmentation, an augmenting tactile cue alone, an augmenting auditory cue alone or both of the latter augmentations in combination. Results showed significant and substantive improvements...article 2013

van Vossen, R. (author), van der Spek, E. (author), Beerens, S.P. (author)Existing sonar systems are commonly deployed at a low duty cycle, i.e. a short transmit signal is used followed by a long listening time. As a result, the target is only illuminated during a short time resulting in only one detection opportunity per ping. When a sonar system is capable of recording meaningful data during its transmission, one...conference paper 2011

An automatic method for image segmentation based on texture features is proposed. The method has been able to automatically detect weak targets which failed to be detected with intensity based...conference paper 2009
