Introduction Mars rover placement mapping Columbia debris recovery mapping Utility mapping
Introduction Symbology Standards
Study Objectives • SEARCH • RETRIEVE • REVIEW • DOWNLOAD
Proposed Methodology • Objectives: • Determine if; • Users are capable of successfully uploading a symbol(s); • users are capable of successfully categorizing a symbol(s); • users are capable of successfully adding metadata for said symbols(s); • users are capable of successfully reviewing symbols after they have been uploaded and; • if there are any recurring issues or difficulties with the tool that the users experienced.
Proposed Methodology • Quality metric to determine: • Success rate; • Time required; • Error rate; • Subjective satisfaction/dissatisfaction of the symbology sharing tool.
Proposed Methodology Breakdown - 4 Parts: Structured interview; Written tasks and semi-structured survey; Perform tasks and complete survey; Compile/analyze results.
Proposed Project Timeline 10 weeks
