Human-Systems Interaction Techniques to Increase Trust In Multi-sensor Systems

该博士学位的目标是与国际公认的大学工程学院的人机界面技术团队合作，了解人类系统界面（HSI）技术，硬件和软件可以在多大程度上被利用，将对信息的定量信心转化为对信息的定性信任，如未来海上平台的指挥官或主管所感知的。这将使他们能够及时做出可能是关键任务的决定，使用类似于他们今天做出这些决定的认知过程。博士将研究用于呈现来自多个机载和远程传感器系统的数据、信息和情报的技术（例如，作为无人驾驶平台的一部分），以及这些因素如何影响操作员对这些数据以及任何其他信息或情报来源的信任。博士课程将侧重于如何利用现代人机交互技术，如虚拟、增强和混合现实。

The objective of this PhD, to be undertaken with the internationally recognised Human Interface Technologies Team within the University's School of Engineering, is to understand to what extent human-system interface (HSI) techniques, hardware and software can be exploited to convert the quantitative confidence in the information into a qualitative level of trust in the information as perceived by commanders or supervisors of future maritime platforms. This would enable them to make timely, possibly mission-critical decisions using similar cognitive processes to the way they make these decisions today. The PhD will investigate techniques used to present data, information and intelligence from multiple onboard and remote sensor systems (e.g. as part of unmanned platforms), and how these factors can influence the trust an operator places in those data, and any other sources of information or intelligence. The PhD would focus on how information presentation can exploit modern human-system interaction techniques such as Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality.
