ACE Design Study and Experiments

Abstract

Studies and experiments were performed to establish a design for a production photogrammetric system referred to as Advanced Compilation Equipment (ACE). The function of this equipment is to rapidly measure terrain heights from aerial photography and to record this data in digital form. The work included study and evaluation of user requirements, preparation and analysis of a tentative ACE design, performance of experiments on the AS-11B-X automated stereomapper in support of the ACE studies, and preparation of ACE system and viewer design specifications. Design specification were prepared for two versions of the ACE system, one optimized for near-term needs and the other optimized for longer-term needs.
