PHOTOGRAPHIC AND PHOTOGRAMMETRIC METHODS OF TERRAIN ANALYSIS FOR DETERMINATION OF AIRCRAFT LANDING SITES

Abstract

An investigation was made of several terrain analysis systems and techniques designed to evaluate the suitability of land areas for aircraft landing operations. The investigations encompassed stereophotographic systems, including photographic interpretation and stereophotogrammetry, and spectral reconnaissance systems, including infrared detectors and spectral cameras. Recommendations are given for a program designed to test the performance of the equipment and techniques developed.
