NORDA's Pattern Analysis Laboratory: Current Contributions to Naval Mapping, Charting, and Geodesy

Abstract

The Mapping, Charting and Geodesy (MC&G) Division at the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA) is the primary activity within the U. S. Navy for conducting research and development (R&D) in direct support of naval MC&G requirements. MC&G projects include R&D in the general areas of charting, remote sensing, bathymetry, geophysics, photogrammetry, reconnaissance, and ocean surveillance in support of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the Defense Mapping Agency. NORDA's Pattern Analysis Branch, MC&G Division, is concerned with all aspects of digital MC&G data, including hardware, software, and data bases. The primary computing facility of this branch is the Pattern analysis Laboratory (PAL). This report describes the configuration of the PAL, its current and anticipated capabilities, and its role in naval MC&G projects.
