CONTROLLED DIGITAL IMAGE DATA BASE

A CONCEPT IS DEVELOPED TO PERFORM RIGOROUS, ANALYTICAL, MULTI-SENSOR TRIANGULATION FOR THE ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF DIGITAL IMAGES WITHIN A LARGER DATA BASE ENVIRONMENT. PROCEDURES TO INTEGRATE THE CONTROLLED DIGITAL IMAGES INTO THE LARGER DATA BASE STRUCTURE ARE DEFINED, AND FUNCTIONAL OPERATIONS INVOLVING REGISTRATION OF RECONNAISSANCE IMAGERY FOR THE BEST DISPLAY USING COMBINATIONS OF LOGIC AND TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ARE DISCUSSED. SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS AND OPERATION CONCEPTS ARE OUTLINES. STORAGE, RETRIEVAL AND MAINTENANCE OF THE DIGITAL DATA BASE ARE DEFINED. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS ARE DEFINED AS A FUNCTION OF DISPLAY, TIMING, AND COST.
