Evaluation of High Resolution Imagery and Elevation Data
Abstract
How does the underlying data affect the ability of warfighters to derive useful information and make decisions? The Army Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) and GMU endeavor to shed light on this question with the third in TEC's series of value experiments. The fundamental objective of the series is to improve TEC's support of military personnel in the field through better geospatial products. The third experiment in the series goes in a different direction from the previous two experiments, which were presented at the 12th and 13th ICCRTS. Whereas previous experiments assessed the value of cutting-edge geospatial tools while keeping the data constant, the present experiment evaluated the effect of higher resolution imagery and elevation data while keeping the tools constant. The high resolution data under evaluation was generated from TEC's Buckeye system, an operational airborne surveillance system. This paper discusses the scope of the third experiment, its hypotheses, its experimental design, and initial results.
