b'MORE THAN MEETS THE EYEAn Investigation Into the Effectiveness of Automated Aircraft Visual InspectionChan Lisheng Andy, Lim Yan Heng XavierIntroduction4.03 million flights take off and land every yearthats approximately 100,000 flights each day. With so many planes whizzing around in the skies, visual inspection helps ensure that each one of them flies safely. During inspection, an inspector walks around the plane to check for any issues or defects with the plane by looking. Inspection is critical for plane safety.Now with the advent of cameras, drones, and Go-Pros, technology appears set to help improve inspection, by making it easier and quicker for everyone. However, we do not know how such technologies can affect the inspector and how they perform the inspection. Hence, in conjunction with the Institute of Infocomm Research @ A*STAR, we sought to see if such technologies can affect inspection and, if so, how exactly it affects inspection.MethodologyTwo inspection tests were conducted: one with an actual airplane, and one with a mock-up circuit board made from craft materials. Participants were taught on what issues to look out for, what to expect when conducting the inspection, and how to report issues if they find any. Next, to find the issues, participants either: (a) used their naked eye, (b) used a camera livestream, or (c) used both methods (a) and (b). Pictures of the process are included below.Afterwards, their reports and recordings were classified into three categories: a hit, whereby an issue was correctly identified, a miss, whereby an issue was not identified, and a false alarm, whereby a non-issue was incorrectly identified as an issue.1 2 37TH PSYCHOLOGY STUDIES 85STUDENT CONFERENCE 2021'
