                 San Francisco Bay Area SIGGRAPH Announcement

     - TITLE: DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING FOR REMOTE SENSING -- With  Examples  of
     Images of the San Francisco Area.

       A report on the results of an  on-going  NASA  Scientific  investigation
       that  involves  the  processing  of  data from two new earth observation
       satellites -- LANDSAT-4  and  LANDSAT  5.   Several  new  digital  image
       processing  techniques  have  been  developed  to  compensate for failed
       detectors and to improve the data radiometry,  geometry and quality.  In
       particular,  the  current  use  of  personal computers for LANDSAT image
       processing will be described.  The resulting data have  been  registered
       to  cartographic  maps  and  digital  terrain  data  sets,  allowing the
       generation of interesting new presentations and oblique views.  The talk
       will  also  touch  on  the  application  of future technologies to image
       processing and information extraction.
