Advanced Multispectral Image Descriptor System (AMIDS). Volume 2: User's manual

This report is prepared in the form of a user's manual for personnel engaged in the operation of the RADC Image Processing System. This system has been developed under the following contracts (listed in chronological order): Image Feature Extraction System (IFES); Spectral Combinations for Reconnaissance Exploitation (SCORE); Advanced Multispectral Image Descriptor System (AMIDS). These efforts have had the common goal of developing a research tool for the design and development of image processing and pattern recognition techniques. The IFES program has concentrated on spatial characteristics, SCORE on spectral characteristics, and AMIDS on implementing classic pattern recognition algorithms. These systems reside within one software framework in the PDP-11/20/SDS-800 system which is located in the Spectral Response Analysis Center (SRAC).
