Images or maps may be transformed to any projection
system. If a digital elevation model (DEM) is introduced
orthogonal projections in arbitrary coordinate systems
can be resampled. The mosaicing software enables the
user to produce orthophoto maps from a series of
adjacing photographs or satellite scenes.
Beside these 3 main tasks a variety of input and output
routines for images, DEM, maps and other data are existing.
An interface for the ESRI Arc/Info geographic information
system has been developed to export map data from the
GIS, superimpose the graphics to the images or in 3-D to
the stereo-model, revise the data and import it back to
the GIS.
The workstation is based on the image processing system
GOP302 from STRUERS VISION AB. The host processor
consists of a SUN 3/60^ supervisor processor with a
20MHz MC 68020 CPU and 68881 floating point coprocessor
running under UNIX 4.2 operating system. Special processors
like the GOP (General Operator Processor) for fast complex
filtering and correlation and the GTP (Geometric Transform
Processor) for fast geometric transformations and resampling
can be accessed via the VME bus of the system. Two
identical display control units with a RAM memory of 1
Mega pixel (20bit), a display window of 512*512 pixel based
on a MC68000 processor and a real time operating kernel
(MODULA2) controlling the images and on-line image proces
sing functions are part of the system. Due to the limited
size of the display window two DCU's have been selected
each controlling one color monitor. Both monitors are
assembled in one cabinet and looked at with a mirror
