ASPRS Potomac Region, the 2005 Conference Planning Committee and I are pleased to welcome you to the

ASPRS 2005 Conference and to the great City of Baltimore! The theme for this year’s conference is “Geospatial

Goes Global: From Your Neighborhood to the Whole Planet.”

Our theme, developed by the late Dr. Jan Gervin, will expound on the many

technologies that abound in our profession to help our neighbors here and

around the world. As educators, analysts, technologists, surveyors, engineers,

planners, managers, photogrammetrists, photo interpreters, geographers,

geographic information scientists, mapping scientists, remote sensing scientists,

and students, you will hear presentations from the youngest and brightest in the

industry and some of the world’s most renowned experts in their fi elds.

We have a superb program planned with well over 400 technical and special

session presentations covering the gamut of geospatial technologies and applications to

manage our environment, regulate our development, prepare for disasters, improve our

data sharing, build our enterprise assets, strengthen our national security, and advance

the quality of life in neighborhoods around the globe. Our Poster Sessions include over 70

presentations and demonstrations that will be available for viewing during the week. We

are also hosting several technical tours and a Classifi ed Session. Preceding our technical

presentations we are offering 14 outstanding workshops that will address current topics in

the ever advancing fi elds of imaging and geospatial information and provide resources for

the academic, government and private sector users of these technologies to stay current.

CEUs will be awarded for these workshops.

Our Keynote address will be given by Dr. Chip Groat, director U.S. Geological Survey

(USGS) who serves as the U.S. representative to GEO, the international organization shaping

the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), which is a critical piece of what

we view the future to be for managing natural resources and protecting and creating an

environment that is healthy and economically benefi cial. On Thursday, our plenary session

speakers– Santiago Borrero, Secretary General, Pan American Institute of Geography and

History (PAIGH) and Jack Dangermond, president, ESRI, respectively will share their visions

of a global quilt of spatial information using web services and the internet, and promoting

international cooperation and collaboration in support of local, national and international

spatial data infrastructure developments. In addition, incoming ASPRS President Karen

Schuckman will deliver her address on “Mapping the Way for the Next Generation of

ASPRS.” Closing our conference will be Paul Rooney of FEMA and Bert Beaulieu, director

of the Offi ce of the Americas in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Analysis and

Production Directorate, speaking on the topics of Flood Disasters and Homeland Security.

An exceptional range of products and services, many of them just released, are on

display by over 100 vendors in the Exhibit Hall located in the Marriot Waterfront Hotel, the

conference headquarters. The Exhibit Hall is open Wednesday through Friday.

We have three noteworthy social events. The fi rst is the Welcome Reception hosted by

the Potomac Region and its immediate Past President Dr. Brad Doorn and President Nate

Smite on Tuesday evening. The theme of the reception will be a “Taste of Baltimore.” The

second is our annual social held on Thursday evening at the National Aquarium in Baltimore

– which is a short walk from the conference hotel. There you can tour the tidewaters of

Maryland, the Pacifi c coastland, and go deep into the Atlantic coral reef and the open ocean

to observe numerous species of fi sh and the sharks, without ever leaving Baltimore.

Awards will be presented to deserving recipients throughout the week at various

sessions. All awardees will be honored at the Awards Luncheon on Wednesday. As a means

of honoring the men and women deceased, who have made remarkable contributions to

our profession, plan to attend the Memorial Address on Thursday. This year’s honorees are

Hugh “Red” Loving and Duane C. Brown.

I particularly want to thank our exhibitors and sponsors for their support, and I want

to encourage you to learn about their products and services. Words can not express my

thanks to the men and women who worked so hard in organizing the conference and the

leadership and dedication of my committee of chairs and co-chars. I also want to recognize

the efforts of Dr. Jan Gervin, who championed our industry with her dedication and support.

Dr. Gervin served as the original chairperson for this conference before her untimely death

on April 5, 2004. I personally have missed her energy, enthusiasm and knowledge and

hope that this event lives up to her expectations and commitment to a better and more

informed world. Finally, I want to thank you, the conference participants, for your continued

support of ASPRS. The future success of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and geospatial

technologies depends on the dedicated users and developers who are committed to making

“Geospatial Go Global: From Their Neighborhood to the Whole Planet.”

Welcome to “Charm City” and Have a Great Conference Experience!

Greetings friends and fellow ASPRS members. We are happy you have joined us

here in Baltimore for the 2005 Annual Conference and Exhibition. It has been some

time since we have met in Baltimore. I have been looking forward to crab cakes,

Little Italy, the waterfront, and time together to share knowledge and friendship.

The Conference Committee and your hosts, the Potomac Region, have done

a superb job of putting together a very timely and informative program with

outstanding keynote and plenary session speakers. There are over 400 technical

papers being presented, affording you a chance to learn the latest developments

in all aspects of our industry. Additionally, more than 70 poster and electronic

presentations will be made. These can be viewed in the area just outside the

General Session Meeting Room on the Harborside Level of the hotel. Also, I

hope that you take advantage of the many educational workshops that we offer for your

continued professional development.

The Exhibit Hall this year is not to be missed. You have the opportunity to see the most

recent advances in technology all here for you under one roof. The Opening Reception on

Wednesday evening in the Exhibit Hall is a great place to meet old friends and make new

ones.

The technical tours available in the Baltimore/Washington area are very exciting and give

you a chance to see the tools of our trade in action. Also, please plan to join us on Thursday

for our conference social event of an Evening in the National Aquarium.

As my presidency of ASPRS draws to a close, I want to thank each of you for your help

and support in making this a very busy and memorable year for me. I am happy to report

that we have begun a new endeavor by establishing The ASPRS Foundation, Inc. The

primary purposes of this Foundation are the coordination of fundraising activities from

the geospatial community for improvement of our technology and science; the support of

professional development; the encouragement of research; the fostering of internships;

and as a vehicle for international information exchange. The Foundation will offer all of

us a means of pursuing the goals I set for my presidency of mentoring young careers

and encouraging all of us. It will give us a focused way of giving back to our profession,

rewarding excellence, and encouraging participation. Personally, I feel this is a very strong

obligation that we all must accept to give back more than we take.

If there is anything I can do for any of you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact

me. Enjoy the conference and keep up the great work of ASPRS.

Workshops

WS #9 — Close Range Techniques for the Conservation and Rehabilitation of the Cultural Heritage 8:00 am to 12 noon, .04 CEU, Room: Essex CPaul Bryan and Michael Clowes, English Heritage, UK

The consequences of the recent war in Iraq have resulted in the serious loss and damage to the cultural heritage in the region. Events have highlighted the urgent need to collect data on the many monuments and sites under threat. Accurate and economic geospatial survey data of these buildings and sites will form an important part of the re-stabilization and regeneration of the country. An understanding of a country’s past plays an important part in formulating its future.

This workshop is intended to provide information on the methods and developments in close range photogrammetry and associated techniques such as laser scanning related specifically to building conservation and rehabilitation. It will examine how this technology is now regularly used for architectural and archaeological projects as an aid to the management of the historic environment. The benefit of providing economic survey data that can either be archived and analysed when required or integrated into a CAD system within days of capture will also be demonstrated. The instructors will illustrate their presentations through case studies derived from their own personal background and experience. These will be complemented with project examples using a digital photogrammetric workstation.

The workshop is expected to be of significant value to survey professionals who will already be working in mapping but wish to investigate the possibility of expanding into the close range environment. It will also be an opportunity for professionals in the construction industry to perceive the impact that this exciting technology can make especially in the areas of architecture, facilities management and engineering.

WS #11 — Remote Sensing of Vegetation 8:00 am to 12 noon, .04 CEURoom: Essex A/BCharles Olson, University of Michigan

The goal of this workshop is to provide an examination of morphologic and physiologic factors affecting signals upwelling from vegetated areas and their influence on remotely sensed data in the visible, near-IR, middle-IR, thermal and microwave spectral bands, with emphasis on the spectral bands of camera systems and the ETM+ sensor.

WS #12 — Preparing For ASPRS Certification8:00 am to 5:00 pm, .08 CEURoom: Laurel A/BRobert Burtch, Ferris State University

The purpose of this workshop is to prepare individuals who are planning to sit for the ASPRS Certification exams as a Certified Photogrammetrist or Certified Mapping Scientist in either Remote Sensing or GIS. The workshop will begin by explaining the purpose and form of the exam. It will then begin to identify key topical areas that an applicant should be aware of prior to taking the exam. Topics will begin with a review of the basic concepts and sample questions to show how these topics will be tested for on the exam. Finally, the workshop will try to identify resources in which exam takers should be aware of and study from in their preparation for the examination.

WS #14 — Hyperspectral Image Processing and Feature Extraction: Maximizing Geospatial Information Retrieval8:00 am to 5:00 pm, .08 CEURoom: Laurel C/DWilliam Farrand, Farr View ConsultingStuart Blundell, Visual Learning Systems, Inc.

Imaging spectrometry, commonly referred to as hyperspectral remote sensing, provides high-resolution spectral information for environmental and natural resource projects. Hyperspectral image processing approaches can also be applied to broadband multispectral imagery to enhance automated feature extraction techniques. In this workshop, we will provide students with an introduction to imaging spectrometry, hyperspectral image processing techniques, and automated feature extraction to demonstrate how digital imagery can add value to maintenance of geospatial databases. Hyperspectral data requires a substantially different processing approach from that required for multispectral data; however, such an approach can add value to information extraction from broadband MSI data. We will emphasize that the added value in imaging spectrometry is on the spectrometry, the ability to identify materials based on their reflectance signatures. We will briefly go into the phenomenology of reflectance spectrometry and explain why some materials are more amenable to mapping than others. We will describe commercially available processing systems that are available for processing hyperspectral and multispectral data and discuss the processing techniques within those packages. Certain processing techniques are better suited to certain applications. We will explain why this is so. We will also discuss some of the advantages and shortcomings of current airborne and orbital hyperspectral systems as well as planned systems.

Hyperspectral imagery provides users with discrete spectral, and consequently compositional, information about earth surface materials. The ability to integrate other types of geologic, geochemical, biologic, or hydrologic data with information from hyperspectral data improves the interpretation and mapping process. A GIS uses relational databases of tabular information and spatial data (vector, CAD, grid, image) to spatially explore how disparate types of data are related to solve a problem. The student will be introduced to the concepts of developing feature extraction

models for automated feature extraction using hyperspectral, Lidar, DEMs and multispectral data within a GIS. We will provide real-world examples of how hyperspectral and multispectral data processing end products, including resultant mineral and vegetation species maps, can be incorporated into the Feature Analyst for feature extraction in a GIS. The desired final result is a map that will be of immediate utility to the end user.

We will provide a package of materials to the students that will include hard copies of the overhead transparencies and an extensive list of references on the topics addressed. We will engage the class with an in-class exercise and several “take-home” hands-on exercises.

WS #15 — Fundamentals of Geodesy in GPS Surveying Applications8:00 am to 5:00 pm, .08 CEURoom: Kent BFrancis Derby, Penn State UniversityMuneendra Kumar, NGS (retired)

With modern development of satellite based positioning and navigation techniques, surveyors, GIS professionals, engineers, navigators, and geoscientists are using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for position fixing and many other applications. Aided by computers, there is the tendency for users to accept the computed results without adequate understanding of the underlying geodetic principles. These principles are covered in geodesy textbooks that are usually replete with complex mathematical equations with minimal explanation. This workshop has been designed to explain the progression of ideas, concepts, and principles that are fundamental to geodetic positioning and navigation with GPS. Special efforts will be made to explain basic geodetic definitions, equations, formulas and algorithms. By the end of the workshop, participants will have obtained a better understanding of geodetic principles in GPS technology and a better appreciation of the results obtained from GPS observations and computations.

Moderator: Nadine Alameh, GST, Inc. Room: Laurel C/D

Standards are essential to the practice of the geospatial sciences, and to the professional activities of the ASPRS membership, as well as the profession in general. An understanding and proactive position of direct involvement in the formulation and approval of the standards that affect our industry is an essential requirement for existence in a modern technological field such as the geospatial sciences. This session pertains to education and communications concerning standards and the standards development process. The domain and operations of standards and standards activities is elusive and complex, involving a distinct language and hierarchy of industrial national and international political and procedural issues of considerable complexity that both determine and effect the use, availability and efficiency of technologies in the private, governmental, academic, national and international user communities.

-15-Data Standards, Management and Policy —Part 2: Standards in ActionSponsored by the Standards Committee, Professional Practice Division of ASPRS; and the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), organized by Sam Bacharach, Open GIS Consortium Moderator: Sam Bacharach, Open GIS Consortium

Room: Laurel C/D

Standards, so goes the usual putdown, are so popular that we have lots of them, with the implication that all of them overlap and that there is no coordination or collaboration amongst the groups that promulgate them. In some industries that is true, but in the geospatial realm an interlocking hierarchy of organizations from the international, national, academic and commercial sectors have managed to beat the odds and assemble a beneficial collection of standards that are already helping the industry. The International Standards Organization (ISO); any number of national bodies (American National Standards Institute (ANSI)) and the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association URISA); and a multitude of not-for-profit organizations representing academia; and state (National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC)) and county (National Association of Counties (NACo)) level governments, and industry (Open GIS Consortium, Inc., (OGC) and ASPRS), are working together to make standards and the interoperability they support real for geospatial information. Some of these organizations do high level, foundational standards (ISO), others help organize the technical content and human certification (FGDC and ASPRS), others represent consumers (NSGIC and URISA), while the OGC concentrates on computer software interfaces to support the functional needs identified by the others. Come and learn how the pieces fit to form a whole picture.

-16-Photogrammetry — Part 2: Digital Sensor Calibration: Research, Policies and StandardsSpecial Session organized by Greg Stensaas, U.S. Geological Survey Moderator: George Lee, U.S. Geological Survey

Room: Dover A/B

Over the past 30+ years, the mapping community has relied on the USGS to provide necessary camera calibrations to ensure the quality of final map products. In the digital domain, the geospatial data community continues to look toward the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for standards and a certification policy for digital sensors and their products. The USGS, with ASPRS and CEOS, has been assessing existing camera calibration standards and new digital camera/sensor technology standards for use within the mapping community.

The USGS working with the NASA, other Federal agencies, private industry, and academia has developed methodologies for characterization, calibration, and validation of digital sensor technology for aerial mapping purposes.

During the spring 2004 ASPRS conference, USGS presented the plan for digital sensor characterization and calibration and digital data quality assurance. As follow-up, the USGS and NASA will be presenting sensor and product characterization results based on in situ tests and evaluations. The USGS will present an overview of geometric, spatial, and radiometric calibration capabilities and procedures of manufacturers, industry, academia, and the US Government. This overview will include laboratory calibration and in-situ calibration methods and results.

The USGS via work with other government

agencies, private practitioners, data providers, and manufactures has developed policies, standards, specifications, and best practices to remove any barriers that might be restricting the use of this new technology on government contracts. The USGS has been using these methods to approve the use of digital sensor technology in cartographic services contracts, and will present them to the digital mapping community.

There is an aggressive development in the field of Airborne GPS paid for by the US Government. These developments are currently being used more and more in the US partially because of PDAD efforts to promote these new technologies to the ASPRS mapping professionals. Currently, a number of the new GPS-based services have been launched in the USA either by government establishments or by the private sector. These services are currently being used by very few people mainly on the academic level. The purpose of this session is to introduce the new technological advances in the Airborne GPS field to the ASPRS mapping professionals.

-28-Remote Sensing Strategies in Marine Protected Areas: Linking Science and Management via the RESAAP Special Session sponsored by NOAA & the University of New Hampshire, CICEET. Organized by Samuel Walker, University of South Carolina. Moderator: Samuel Walker, University of South Carolina

Room: Dover C

The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) has been employing remote sensing technologies for a number of years for a variety of applications. However, the NERRS is exploring the design and adoption of a more comprehensive strategy to address remote sensing activities in the relevant marine protected areas (MPAs) that comprise the System. In response to this need the Remote Sensing Applications Assessment Project (RESAAP) was developed as part of a larger evaluation and monitoring effort within NOAA’s Estuarine Research Division. The RESAAP investigation comprises research with and adoption of remote sensing in four Reserves: Padilla Bay (WA); Grand Bay (MS); ACE Basin (SC); and Delaware (DE). This session will focus on the three main components of the investigation as they relate to the application of remote sensing in MPAs. These areas of primary focus include: 1) the design, implementation, and management of a remote sensing project in an existing MPA; 2) the remote monitoring and analysis of estuarine health in MPAs; and 3) the communication of results to the resident science community and beyond. Within this context, speakers will address applications across a range of habitats including: submerged aquatic vegetation; emergent marsh vegetation; and an urban dominated estuary.

Plenary Session8:00 am to 9:35 am, Room: Harborside Ballroom

Relevance of a Global Spatial Data Infrastructure: A Developing World Perspective Santiago Borrero, Secretary General, Pan American Institute of Geography and History

To establish a sound Spatial Data Infrastructure demands a significant amount of resources and time. The fight against poverty and the need for social and economic growth should be the main priorities for developing economies around the globe. However, there is no contradiction. In this context, Santiago Borrero will comment on the need for governments and the civil society to invest in the construction of appropriate geographic information infrastructures linking spatial information and development options.

The Secretary General, a graduate of MIT, has extensive experience in Development, mainly in the production and application of spatial information to land administration and the strategic value of geographic information for developing nations. He has

chaired the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI), the Permanent Committee on SDI for the Americas (PC-IDEA) and the PAIGH Cartographic Commission. In Colombia, he has been Director General of the “Agustin Codazzi” Geographic Institute (1994-2002), and General Manager of Bogotá’s Water Supply Company and the National Fund for Development Projects.

Mapping the Way for the Next Generation of ASPRSKaren Shuckman, ASPRS President (2005-2006); GeoSpatial Applications Director, EarthData Solutions

As the geospatial data and information industry grows and evolves, the demographics of ASPRS membership are also changing. Recent ASPRS conference themes have focused on the development and application of geospatial technologies in the new millenium. The profile of the geospatial professional is also changing, and ASPRS must understand and respond to this in order to maintain its position as the leading professional society in the core areas of photogrammetry, remote sensing and GIS. Ms. Schuckman will address the ways ASPRS will support the needs of those individuals, corporate, government and academic entities who will lead the industry through its next stage of growth.

Schuckman has served as Director of the ASPRS Photogrammetric Applications and Professsional Practice Divisions, and held officer positions in the Northern California Region and the North Carolina Chapter of ASPRS. Prior to her 10 years with EarthData, she worked for the USGS National Mapping Division in Menlo Park, California.

Can Distributed GIS Efforts Become a Global System?Jack Dangermond, President, ESRI

For several decades, there have been discussions about developing a global GIS. Recently, the vision of “organizing and integrating” efforts into a kind of global quilt of spatial information using web services and the internet has emerged. Jack Dangermond will explore the vision, the technology, and the practical implications for realizing this vision as a global system.

Jack Dangermond is the Founder and President of ESRI, the world’s fourth largest privately held software company. He fostered the growth of ESRI from a small research group to an organization of 2,700 employees, known internationally for GIS software development, training, and services. Dangermond is recognized not only as a pioneer in spatial analysis methods, but

also as one of the most influential people in GIS. He is the recipient of many awards, including the ISPRS Brock Gold Medal.

Memorial Address & Student/Region Awards12:15 pm to 1:15 pmRoom: Harborside Ballroom A/B

Please join us for two addresses by recognized leaders in our profession. They will help us relive memorable moments from the lives of two of our distinguished colleagues. John Brown will chronicle the life of his father Duane Brown. Roy Mullen will present memories of Hugh B. Loving.

Duane BrownDuane Brown’s career in mathematics and photogrammetry was long and distinguished. He received his BSBA in Mathematics from Yale University in 1951 with honors. Throughout his career Duane was a prolific inventor, author and entrepreneur. In photogrammetry, Duane was a true “renaissance man” who was deeply involved in every aspect of the development of industrial photogrammetry. In the mathematical arena, he developed the bundle method of photogrammetric triangulation, which he later expanded to include the algorithm for first-order partitioned regression. He also developed advanced mathematical techniques for camera calibration and error modeling that are still widely used today. In the area of instrumentation, he first developed extremely accurate mono-comparators and large glass plate cameras, and then proceeded to development of the large-format CRC film cameras and the AutoSet automatic monocomparator. Finally, Duane was a “serial entrepreneuer”, founding several successful companies during his career to advance and commercialize his life’s work. His latest firm, Geodetic Systems, is extending his legacy into the area of high-accuracy digital photogrammetry.

Duane received much well-deserved recognition for his accomplishments throughout his groundbreaking career. In 1960, he received the David Sarnoff Award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering. In 1962, he was awarded the Robert Gordon Memorial Award from the Society of Photo-Optical Engineers. In 1969, he won the Talbert Abrams Award of ASPRS (and also received honorable mention in 1960 and 1977). In 1970 and again in 1980, he won the Sherman Mill Fairchild award of the ASPRS. In 1988, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Stuttgart, and that same year received the prestigious Brock Gold Medal from ISPRS as well as honorary membership in ASPRS.

In summary, Duane’s lifelong work and formative accomplishments in every area of modern industrial photogrammetry has earned him the title of “Father of Modern Day Photogrammetry.”

Presenter

John BrownJohn Brown, the son of Duane Brown, received his bachelor’s degree in Engineering & Applied Science from Yale University in 1978, graduating with high honors and with distinction in the major. John has over 25 years experience in industrial photogrammetry. He joined Geodetic Services, Inc. in 1978 and was primarily responsible for the company’s software and electronic developments throughout the 1980s. These included working closely with Duane on development of the company’s groundbreaking STARS line of photogrammetric products including the CRC line of close-range industrial cameras and AutoSet, a highly accurate, high-speed fully automatic monocomparotor. John received his master’s degree in Business Administration with honors from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina in 1993. He rejoined GSI in 1993 as President and since then has been responsible for overall company development, including the technical and market development of the company’s state-of-the-art V-STARS industrial photogrammetry systems.

Hugh B. LovingHugh B. Loving, ‘Red’ as he was known to all who shared his friendship, was born in Hot Springs, Virginia in 1921. He attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the National Business College. In 1942 he began his government career in mapping with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in photogrammetric mapping of wartime strategic areas. He left the Geological Survey to join the U.S. Army Air Corps where he served as a pilot, until returning to the Survey in 1945 where he continued to participate in both photogrammetric and field surveying operations in support of its topographic operations. In the early 1950s Red was assigned to the Branch of Aerial Photography in the Office of Research and Technical Standards. While on this assignment he was responsible for the procurement of the largest aerial photography project, using low oblique transverse mounted aerial cameras, in the Brooks Range, Alaska. Red served as project manager, on site, for this procurement. In 1957 he joined private industry, serving as Executive Vice President of Erdman, Smock, Hosley and Reed, an engineering firm. In 1959 he returned to the federal government and the USGS and worked in the Branch of Research and Design, Office of Research and Technical Standards, then under the direction of Russell K. Bean.

Red was the co-inventor of the Airborne Control Survey System, a method of rapidly extending control for mapping, using helicopter supported surveying. The patent for one of the components of this system, the Hoversight, was issued in his name.

For his many accomplishments in the governments mapping operations he was awarded the Department of the Interior’s Meritorious Service Medal in 1972. His service to the American Society of Photogrammetry merited high recognition, resulting in his election to President of ASP in 1976 and in 1978 his being named an Honorary Member of the Society, an honor limited to a maximum of 25 living members.

Presenter

Roy MullenRoy Mullen is a native of New Jersey. After four years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1942 to 1946 he returned to college and graduated from the American University in 1951. Upon graduation he joined the U.S. Geological Survey, beginning 43 years working for the federal government. He served in the Atlantic Region office, working in all phases of map production, both in photogrammetry and field operations. He worked for six years in the Branch of Research and Design, Office of Research and Technical and served as Chief, Branch of Photogrammetry and the headquarters staff from 1969 to 1972. He then joined the executive level management team of the Topographic Division when he was selected as Pacific Region Engineer in Menlo Park, California. Roy was responsible for all mapping operations in the western U.S. and the Trust Territories of the Pacific. He returned to Reston headquarters in 1976 to the position of Assistant Chief Topographic Engineer for Research and Technical Standards where he led that activity during the transition from graphic map production to the digital map domain. In 1980 he was selected as Associate Chief of the National Mapping Division, sharing with the Division Chief full responsibility for the technical, scientific and administrative activities of the nation’s civilian mapping operations.

Roy is an Emeritus and Fellow Member of the ASPRS and has served the Society in many different capacities, the most recent as Technical Editor of the 5th Edition of the Manual of Photogrammetry.

-75-Impact of the Landsat-7 ETM+ Scan Line Failure on Imagery and ApplicationsSpecial Session sponsored by the Remote Sensing Applications Division (RSAD), and organized by Jim VogelmannModerator: Jim Vogelmann, U.S. Geological Survey EROS Data Center

Room: Laurel A/B

The Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) instrument on board the Landsat 7 spacecraft contains an optical/mechanical scan line corrector (SLC) device designed to compensate for the along-track motion of the spacecraft during imaging. This device failed on May 31, 2003, causing it to stop providing required along-track correction. Since this malfunction, the ETM+ has continued to acquire data with the SLC powered off, resulting in images that are missing approximately 22% of the normal scene area. The missing data are manifest as “stripes” throughout the imagery. New products that use the data from multiple ETM+ scenes to provide complete coverage are being developed, and various investigations are underway to assess the utility of these products for various applications. This session will describe the overall problem, products that are being developed, and impact on applications.

-97-Advances in Hyperspectral Imagery ProcessingSpecial Session sponsored by ASPRS Remote Sensing Applications Division and organized by Stefan Robila, Montclair State University Moderator: Stefan Robila, Montclair State University Room: Laural A/B

With the advance of sensor technology and the speedup in computer applications, hyperspectral data have become increasingly used both in the traditional remote sensing field as well as in other areas such as quality control in industry. The session presents several novel techniques related to the efficient processing of hyperspectral imagery. They have the potential of becoming widely used techniques and being implemented in commercial systems. The first presentation analyzes support vector machines (SVMs) as classifiers for hyperspectral data. Due to Hughes phenomenon, the conventional parametric classifiers fail to classify such a high dimensional dataset. In recent years, neural networks and decision tree classifiers, which are nonparametric in nature, have been used for classification of multispectral data. The presentation reports on the efficiency of such tools when compared with SVM. The second presentation presents an efficient way of computing the pixel purity index (PPI) using Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These are hardware components with millions of gates. Their reprogrammability and high computational power makes them particularly attractive in remote sensing applications and leads to an efficient implementation of a recently developed fast PPI algorithm. The

last presentation investigates the efficiency of spectral metrics when used in spectral screening of hyperspectral imagery. Spectral Screening is the technique of selecting from the data a subset of representative spectra that can be used in further processing. The investigation has focused on the comparison between spectral angle and spectral correlation angle in terms of efficiency of the results and speedup obtained as well as in empirically identifying the best distance threshold to be used when reducing the data when testing it for classification on hyperspectral images.
