Much of the current work in the Ocular Imaging Laboratory supports the Intelligent Integrated Flight Deck project of NASA's Aviation Safety program. In particular, we are investigating methods for three-dimensional display of air traffic, extending work performed in the Flight Deck Display Research Laboratory. We are incorporating head-slaved motion parallax to enhance the sense of depth, and are currently working to adapt camera-based eye tracking systems for this application.

A second effort done in support of IIFD is an investigation of the conspicuity of peripheral visual alerts, in collaboration with Prof. Jason McCarley at Flinders University, and Dr. Christopher Wickens of Alion Science and Technology. Gaze tracking technology is used to monitor scanning behaviors, and to determine the sensitivities of different regions of the retina to peripheral visual stimuli during the performance of demanding central tasks.

Machine vision software developed in the laboratory is also being used in support of measurement of human vibration during space launch, using video collected during shuttle launches as well as laboratory data from the Ames centrifuge vibration study. This work is being performed in collaboration with Prof. Guoliang Fan of Oklahoma State University.
