Applications of Digital Displays in Photointerpretation and Digital Mapping,

Abstract

The Digital Image Analysis Laboratory (DIAL) at USAETL is a large-scale interactive system designed for research and development activities in digital image processing. The system has been successfully applied to a variety of investigations in both digital mapping and photointerpretation as described in this presentation. Recently a Demonstration Image Processing System (DEMONS) has been added to the DIAL system to serve as a high-speed work station for processing very large digital images. Although DEMONS has been reasonably successful in manipulating large images, its limitations indicate that future such systems might be hybrid systems combining the best features of both hardcopy (film) and softcopy (cathode ray tube) exploitation systems.
