and exposure station. All outputs are displayed on a 17" cathode ray tube
monitor thus assuring comfortable viewing over a relatively wide field.
The Experimental Double Image Enhancement Viewer was developed
as an analysis tool for the rapidly rising interpretive technology of
spectrazonal photography. Previously, each spectrazonal record had to be
analyzed individually with density differences obtained manually. This
equipment, however, precisely analyzes the densities on two film records
simultaneously and presents to the interpreter the densities of conjugate
images and the density difference between them. Furthermore, these density
differences may be electronically interpreted by the equipment and played back
superimposed on the film within selectable thresholds as edge or area en-
hancements. Such enhancements may be obtained either within a single
film record or between two spectrazonal film records.
The possible adaptation of one technology to that of another is
exemplified in a paper db) written by H. Robert Gribben of the Autometrics
Division of the Raytheon Company, Alexandria, Virginia, which will be
distributed during this meeting. Entitled "An Approach to Change Detection",
the recently developed ortho photo map producing B-8 stereomat is suggested
as an automatic approach to change detection. As aptly discussed in the
paper, the subtractive logic of the stereomat stereo image correlator may
be utilized to compare old and new photographic coverage of an area and
output as a third ortho photo only change information.
