Application of Coding Methods in Development of Symbology for a Computer-Generated Topographic Display for Army Aviators

Defense Technical Information Center · 1982 · 11 pictures

A 1982 technical report by Marvin McCallum of Anacapa Sciences, Santa Barbara, prepared through the Defense Technical Information Center for Army aviators studying computer-generated topographic displays and symbol design. The pictures are plain line charts, a wavelength scale, a geometric triangle diagram and a schematic tactical map, showing how coding choices change readability for pilots, which a designer might take as a model for clear, simplified symbol systems.
