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.
- WHO: Ralph Berstein, Senior Staff Member, IBM Palo Alto Scientific
Center
Ralph Bernstein is the Principle Investigator on the current NASA
LANDSAT-4 and LANDSAT-5 research program. He is editor of the book
"Digital Image Processing for Remote Sensing", has contributed to a
number of other books, and has contributed to a number of other books,
and has authored over fifty scientific and technical papers. Ralph
Bernstein has received awards and honors from IBM, NASA, IEEE, and Tau
Beta Pi; and he has been elected to Who's Who in America.
