Direct digital targeting applications and experiments

This document represents the final technical report for Contract F30602-80-C-0283 to the Rome Air Development Center (RADC) to provide the Experimental Photogrammetric Facility (EPF) with an upgraded Digital Image Target Location demonstration capability. The Softcopy Mensuration Software was modified to provide monoscopic mensuration capability. The DeAnza IP-8500 Display System was purchased and added to the EPF. The architecture of the IP-8500 permits large image roaming which is necessary to perform point transfer experiment with large digital imagery. The software was designed in a modular fashion to permit ease in expanding the system to include multiple sensor models or even multiple implementations of the same sensor models. With this design, experiments could be conducted to compare the output object space coordinates using improved and unimproved sensor position information. Display software is independent of the sensor model and the image warping processes are designed to be a separate module independent of the sensor.
