Defects within the field of view
What is at stake here are features that describe the number, position, and size of bright
and dark spots within the field of view. These features are assessed by viewing a
standardised object that lights uniformly. The requirements of the military standard MIL-
I-49428 are complied with. This standard comprises the following specification:
Inner circle Ø 5.6mm; centre circle Ø 14.7mm; outer circle Ø 19mm

up to 75
Degree of recognition
The presence of an object is perceived.
The object is symmetric (or not), and
orientation is possibly detectable
To recognise the type of the object.
The object can be identified in details.
