One psychological experiment was conducted. The derived confusion matrices were used to investigate recognition rates and information transfer for compound tactons,and non-parameter tests were employed to analyze the effect of each parameter on the number of correct responses.Experimental results show that the overall identification rate for four-parameter tactons is 88.72% by using different tactile parameters,and 19.64 icons can be identified reliably in all 32 tactile icons according to the information transfer value. Thermal changes can be an effective supplement to vibrotactile icons. This suggests that compound tactons will be a promising method of conveying complex information when navigating in a virtual or real urban environment.展开更多

The mathematical model of image fusion is derived according to theprinciple of remote sensing image formation. It shows that the pixel values of a high-resolutionmulti-spectral images are determined by the pixel values of the approximation of a high-resolutionpanchromatic image at the resolution level of low-resolution multi-spectral images, and in the pixelvalae computation the M-band wavelet theory and the a trous algorithm are then used. In order toevaluate the MRAIM approach, an experiment has been carried out on the basis of the IKONOS 1 mpanchromatic image and 4 m multi-spectral images. The result demonstrates that MRAIM image fusionapproach gives promising fusion results and it can be used to produce the high-resolution remotesensing images required for navigation information infrastructures.展开更多
