Visual information transmission to navigators for the navigation safety

Journal of Light & Visual Environment, 1977
For the navigators during coastal navigation at night, signal lights such as the navigational aids and the navigation lights of other ships should have a good visual transmission from the view point of navigation safety. In this paper the relation between the recognition of the signal and background lights is described.
