Abstract: To study the influence of illumination on human visual identification in fully-mechanized working face, various types of displays on the shearer operation platform were used as test materials to design the experiment. Through the eye tracking system, the eye movement data of the experimenter on the stimulus material was collected and analyzed under different illumination conditions by EyeLinkⅡhigh-speed eye tracker. Combined with the visual perception system, it was obtained that the illumination of local lighting in working face should be above 70 lx, which was conducive to improve the visual identification of workers, discover and identify unsafe factors in the surrounding environment, thus it could eliminate safety risks, avoid the occurrence of accidents in safety production.
