APPS-IV (Analytical Photogrammetric Processing System-IV) Remote Sensing Applications Guide

摘要

This report describes the Computer-Assisted Photo Interpretation Research (CAPIR) facility at the U.S. Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories (USAETL) and discusses its use, primarily with the APPS-IV analytical stereoplotter, for various remote sensings applications. The components of the APPS-IV and the geographic information system (AUTOGIS) are described, followed by discussions of the capabilities and advantages of a CAPIR-type system. A general workflow is also included as a guide to the undertaking of this type project.
