Airborne Multi-Spectral Imaging System Track: New Technology and System Integration Author(s): Chadwick Mayfield The Airborne Multi-Spectral Imaging System is a digital imaging solution for airborne surveying and mapping. The objective of this research is to use a digital video (DV) camera to capture audio video interleaved (AVI) movie files. These files are combined with logged GPS positions coupled to the camera exposure station. Utilizing photogrammery it is possible to orient a DV image spatially with the GPS exposures station information. The research discussed in this paper is a software product. The software allows a user to extract images from the AVI by searching through the GPS file positions. The software produces a World File that the ArcGIS software uses to automatically georeference the extracted images. This solution will be an aid in the process of airborne surveying and mapping by creating a digital system to capture and spatially orient images with reduced human interaction.
