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. - WHEN: 8 pm, Tuesday, 28 January 1986. - WHERE: Stanford Linear Accelerator Center 2575 Sand Hill Road, in the Auditorium (Ask for directions at the guard kiosk). ___________________ NOTICES ______________________ If you wish to provide Administrative Assistance or help us to acquire Technical Speakers, please contact: Dan Clarke 2132 Randolph Drive San Jose, CA 95128 408/496-7302 If you wish to become a member of the Local SIGGRAPH, send inquiries to: S.R.
