    Abstract

    A comparision of linear and non-linear magnification on target detection performance in visual inspection was presented. Inter-object spacing was magnified to the same extent as objects. It was observed that the performance with scaled stimuli was better than that with non-scaled stimuli on each of the four axes tested. An unexpected decline in performance was found at the least eccentric target locations for the highest level of scaling.
