Research abstract
"The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command is seeking automated technology to revolutionize the way human operator/analysts observe, interpret, and fuse visual, analog, and digital environmental data from civil and military environmental satellites,battlespace in-situ sensors, and numerous numerical geospatial models. This technology must integrate geographic information system (GIS), photogrammetric, and remote-sensing tools, and it must support multiple databases and metadata formats. PhysicalOptics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop an innovative universal "Look-Measure-Analyze" (LMA) GIS/remote sensing software system for effective human analysis and processing of visual and semantic geospatial data. The proposed LMA system will makeimaging, measurement, and interpretation far more efficient. The system configuration will include POC's proprietary software and universal workstation products for operational effectiveness and simplicity. It will support observation and analysis ofimages from all current satellite and in-situ battlespace sensor sources, even under severe conditions. This performance increment will be achieved by enhancing the unique physiological aspects of the human operator/analyst's vision system. POC'sproposed system is based on the latest software engineering technologies, so that the software is maximally compatible with GIS environments and supports all standard metadata formats. Successful integra
