Session: 123 / Space Imaging and Other Advanced Data Acquisition Techniques
Day: Wednesday Time: 3:30 -5:00
Room: Mesquite D Moderator: Paul Gallimore
This paper discusses a high-quality, highly accurate set of data that provides an efficient base layer for data from other sources. This data set is rich in information content and allows users to extract details not achievable with previously available data. This provides new opportunities for the users of this world wide-compatible data set. Space Imaging data will expand applications, cause new software to be developed to use this data, and create archived imagery worldwide. This data will be available to the homeowner as well as to municipalities throughout the world. Developments as a result of the data can be shared across country boundaries. This paper presents background on the data set and then shows examples of some initial applications, some of which are being developed in conjunction with other companies.
A team of E-Systems, Inc. (GDE Systems, Inc. and Esri, Inc. intends to create a new technical capability to provide a complete end-to-end commodity production capability, including "front-end" source processing, beginning in 1996. These organizations are addressing both the technology and production aspects of such a capability. This discussion will provide an overview of some of the technical capabilities that are being planned.
Esri cartographers have recently used ArcInfo to create a prototype 1:50,00 scale topographic map for Killeen, Texas (Fort Hood area). Standard Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) symbology was applied in a generic AML-based cartographic application, which can also be used as the basis for creating any of the 1:50,000 scale topographic map sheets in this map series. A description of the technical procedures and the application development process will be presented.
