Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of estimating lateral range functions and sweep widths from data collected during visual detection experiments. We report a physical model for visual detection and the results of applying this methodology to data collected by the U.S. Coast Guard. These results are being incorporated in an updated version of the National Search and Rescue Manual .
