Probability of Discrimination ; U/ H& b2 N7 R9 l' E3 ]This is the probability that an object, which is threatening will be correctly identified. The ability to discriminate between a potential target and a decoy is quantified by a “K” factor, in which the higher the numeric the greater the 8 B# S7 ^8 T/ E0 I7 O$ M6 {probability of discrimination (thus, a “0” K factor implies that the target is 4 G& |: e1 o% nindistinguishable from the decoy).
