 Inflatable Boat DRI
The Johnson Criteria assumes that the critical dimension for a human being is 0.75 meters. To get DRI, you need 1.5 pixels, 6 pixels and 12 pixels across 0.75 meters in the object pane. That means:
|
Detection |
|
1.5 pixels / 0.75m = 2 pixels per meter |
|
Recognition |
|
6 pixels / 0.75m = 8 pixels per meter |
|
Identification |
|
12 pixels / 0.75m = 16 pixels per meter |
|
Assuming that a man is 1.83m by 0.5m, the following would apply:
3.6 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there) |
13 pixels by 5 pixels
(You can see that a
person is there) |
28.8 pixels by 8 pixels
(You can see that the
person looks like a soldier) |
