Automated Processing of Satellite Imagery Data at Air Force Global Weather Central (AFGWC): Demonstrations of Spectral Analysis.

Abstract

This document is the final report of a one year program of work concerned with finding ways to upgrade automated processing of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) imagery data at Air Force Global Weather Central (AFGWC). In the first of two states of work, surveys were conducted to identify needs for imagery processing at AFGWC and to find the best technique for AFGWC to adopt next in upgrading its capability for automated imagery processing. The procedure and results of the first stage, including the recommendation that spectral analysis be adopted for improved feature abstraction in the current 3DNEPH program, are separately reported. The procedure and results of Stage 2, which focused on demonstrations and checks of spectral analysis on selected DMSP imagery samples, are presented here along with a summary of conclusions and recommendations from the contract effort as a whole.
