Application of Thematic Mapping Techniques in Terrain Analysis.

Abstract

The mission to support the Department of Defense (DoD) with terrain information has recently become the responsibility of the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA). The techniques employed to produce data bases of terrain conditions and the synthesizing of this data base information into terrain analysis products are critical in supporting mission requirements. Thematic mapping procedures provide the mechanism by which remote sensors, interpretation techniques, thematic subjects, data analysis techniques, and products can be examined in terms of production feasibility and capabilities.
