A kind of Subjective Imaging Effect Assessment (SIEA) method and its applications on intelligent imaging terminal design in engineering site are presented. First, some visual assessment indices are used to characterize the imaging effect: the image brightness, the image brightness uniformity, the color image contrast, the image edge blur, the image color difference, the image saturation, the image noise, and the integrated imaging effect index. A linear weighted function is employed to carry out the SIEA computation and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique is used to estimate its weights. Second, a SIEA software is developed. It can play images after the settings of assessment index or assessment reaction time, etc. Third, two cases are used to illustrate the application effects of proposed method: the image enhancement system design for surveillance camera and the imaging environment perception system design for intelligent lighting terminal. A Prior Sequential Stimulus (PSS) experiment is proposed to improve the evaluation stability of SIEA method. Many experiment results have shown the proposed method can realize a stable system design or parameters setting for the intelligent imaging terminal in engineering site.

Background: Though curved display products such as curved monitors, TVs, and smartphones are available, it seems still inconclusive whether or not curved display is ergonomically advantageous over flat display, and if so in terms of what ergonomic aspects. To examine a visual display comprehensively, three aspects, productivity, safety, and well-being, should be considered. Objective: We aimed to determine whether or not display curvature is ergonomically recommendable, especially for monitors and TVs. Methods: Overall, we examined the effect of display curvature on visual task performance, visual fatigue, and/or watching experience by conducting three different studies. In Study 1, we examined the effect of display curvature (400R, 600R, 1200R, and flat) on visual task performance and visual fatigue. A visual search task was performed on 50" multi-monitors. In Study 2, we examined the effect of display curvature (600R, 1140R, 2000R, 4000R, and flat) on visual task performance, visual fatigue, and display satisfaction. A proofreading task was performed on 27" monitors. In Study 3, we examined the effect of display curvature (2300R, 4000R, 6000R, and flat) on presence and display satisfaction. A TV watching task was done on 55" TVs. Results: First, curved displays increased productivity. The mean visual search accuracy and speed were both higher at the 50" 600R and 1200R multi-monitor settings, and the mean proofreading speed was the fastest at the 27" 600R curved monitor setting. Second, curved displays increased safety. The mean visual fatigue was lower at the 50" 600R and 1200R multi-monitor settings. However, the effect of display curvature on visual fatigue was not significant in the case of the 27" monitors. Third, curved displays improved well-being. Compared to the 55" flat TV, the mean spatial presence and engagement did not significantly decrease up to a more lateral viewing position especially when the display curvature was similar to the viewing distance. The effect of display curvature on display satisfaction was, however, not significant in Studies 2 and 3. Applications: The findings of three studies suggest that display curvature, if its level is carefully selected, can improve monitors and TVs in terms of productivity, safety, and/or well-being.

“…Previous studies showed that illumination in a VDT workplace was a significant parameter affecting visual performance and visual fatigue , Chen and Lin 2004, Sheedy et al 2005. Lin et al (2009) showed a significant effect of ambient illumination in a searching task. However, excess illumination was found to be uncomfortable for humans and had affected visual performance in a negative way (Xu andZhu 1990, Lin et al 2008).…”

This study investigated the effect of varying levels of illumination, noise and colour combination on blink rate for subjects of different age groups (21-30, 31-40 and 41-50 years) having Internet exposure duration of less than 2 h/day (category 1) and more than 2 h/day (category 2). The pseudo reading task was designed as a software program to investigate the reading task performance. Results showed that the text-background colour combination was significant on the change in spontaneous eye blink rate (SEBR) values on both categories of users for age groups of 21-30 and 41-50 years. The effects of illumination and noise were not significant for subjects of all categories and age levels except for age group of 31-40 years with Internet exposure duration of more than 2 h/day, where illumination was observed to be significant. The results of the study further showed that ambient illumination did not affect significantly the SEBR values for every age group investigated in this research.
