A METHOD OF AUTOMATING THE PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION DURING COMPLEX AIR PHOTO INTERPRETATION

A method of complex image processing, i.e., the simultaneous use of various kinds of remote sensing imagery in the mapping and study of geographic features, is outlined. It features the use of computerized techniques (a) to identify shots or frames of auxiliary types of imagery containing the same specific geographic features identified on the principal type of imagery [this through the scanning of code lines containing information about the coordinates of imaging, flight direction and altitude of the plane or sensing platform, etc.], and (b) to precisely locate the features of interest within these shots or frames.

AIR SURVEY AND THE PHOTOGRAPH

Abstract

As air-photographs are being more and more used for survey purposes, Empire surveyors who have not yet made a thorough study of aerial survey may be interested in a little elementary photographic geometry and its application to map-making. A map may be described as an orthogonal proj ection of the ground upon a horizontal plane, reduced to some convenient scale, and a photograph as a conical projection of the ground upon the focal plane of the camera. If the focal plane is horizontal at the instant of exposure and the ground being photographed is perfectly level, the two projections are exactly similar and the photograph is indeed a map. Unfortunately these conditions which are illustrated in fig. 1 are extremely rarely encountered, and photographs usually need correcting for various distortions.     

STANDARDIZING EQUIPMENT OF THE GOLD COAST SURVEY DEPARTMENT

Abstract

The following account of the standardizing equipment of the Gold Coast Survey Department has been written, at the request of the Editor of the Review, because this equipment includes a completely enclosed standard of length 300 feet long which is believed to be one of the very few enclosed standards of this length in any of the Crown Colonies.     

THE USE OF AIR PlIOTOGRApHS BY THE ORDNANCE SURVEY

Abstract

During the last year, the Air Survey Section, Field Division, Ordnance Survey, have had many visitors. Most of them have been surprised at what they have seen: some at the fact that we are able to make so much use of air photographs even in the largest scale surveys, and some at the small amount of information we seem able to extract from them. This paper is an attempt to give in some detail the ways in which air photographs are used to solve the problems of the Ordnance Survey, why they are used and their limitations for our purposes.     

AIR SURVEY: THE ADJUSTMENT OF STRIP PLOTS

Abstract

An outstanding problem in topographical air surveying which faces the practical air surveyor almost daily is that of adjusting the plot along the lateral overlap between two strips.

THE INTERPRETATION AND MAPPING OF VEGETATION AND OTHER GROUND SURFACE FEATURES FROM AIR PHOTOGRAPHS OF MOUNTAINOUS AREAS IN NORTH WALES

The paper describes work undertaken in North Wales in 1967 and 1968 in which panchromatic and colour air photographs were used in the mapping of vegetation and in the study of other ground surface features. The problems of relating a priori classification schemes to the categories distinguished by air photo-interpretation are discussed and the case stated for developing classifications which enable more benefit to be derived from the advantages of air photo-ecology.

AIR SURVEY COMES OF AGE IN THE ORDNANCE SURVEY OF IRELAND: 1965–1986

Since the mid-1960s, the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, whose headquarters are in Dublin, has undergone great technological change. This paper emphasises the photogrammetric aspects of that change and outlines how a sophisticated range of modern equipment is used in the supply of survey data for the Irish Republic.

PRINCIPLES OF THE COMPARISON AND INTERPRETATION OF MULTITEMPORAL IMAGERY

General principles are outlined for the use of a series of remote sensing images (obtained for the same area of the earth's surface for different points in time) in the detection of significant changes in land use and environmental conditions. Emphasis is placed on visual methods of interpretation, and a number of different methods for graphically analyzing the dynamics of earth surface features on photographic image products are described. A final section describes procedures for cartographically representing the dynamics of features interpreted from multitemporal images.

AIR SURVEY: THE RAND METHOD OF HEIGHTING FROM NEAR VERTICAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Abstract

The method outlined below is a simple and rapid method, requiring no expensive equipment, of obtaining true heights from pairs of near vertical air photographs with a minimum of ground control. It is a direct application of the Fourcade theorem and, as it was finally developed at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1948-49, it has been given the name “Rand method” in the hope that this will connect it with Dr. Fourcade's country.     

AIR SURVEY: THE RAND METHOD OF HEIGHTING FROM NEAR VERTICAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Abstract

The simplest approach is that of spherical trigonometry. In the following proof I have departed from Hotine's sign conventions in an attempt to obtain consistency between the spherical quantities and the photo rectangular co-ordinates.
