Both image formats need to be registered to each other. Corresponding 
points are measured in (x,y) digital space, and (lat,long) ground space 
using the APPS-IV with a resulting model file. The model file serves as a 
transformation between the two coordinates systems. 
- #3 Change Detection Cue Phase 
Feature/changes from the ‘feature flag file’ are visually super imposed 
over both image formats. As a son in the digital image display, and a 
stereo (SUPER-P™) graphic in the optics of the APPS-IV. The operator is 
cued to the location of the features/change in both image display systems. 
- *4 Digital Data Capture Phase 
User accepts or rejects results of automated process, and 
feature/changes are further delineated and identified. They can be 
digitized using the trackball and digital display, or the APPS-IV. Any 
raphics produced on either display system will simultaneously appear on 
he other. Resulting segment and nodes are stored in a GIS {geographic 
information sytem) for future use. 
The user can utilize any one of these configurations. If rapid, gross 
exploitation is required, AIMS can serve as a complete digital image 
processing workstation. If more accurate validation, mensuration, and 
identification is needed AIMS supports real-time analog imagery 
exploitation potential using the APPS-IV. 
A key feature of AIMS is that one image pre-processor subsystem could 
support many analytical feature matching subsystems using the 
APPS-IV(with SUPER-P" ). E using this approach, a fast high volume,low 
cost image exploitation capability Can be provided that combines the best 
of the digital and analog data hadling techniques to provide gross as well 
as very detailed and accurate spatial information in a variety of user 
formats. This architecture minimizes the use of a limited number of 
operators and amount of imagery needed while maximizing the volume of 
overall imagery being exploited.
