By the 1910's,
aviation, photographic, and
geodetic-surveying technologies were
supporting
sophisticated oblique-aerial-photography surveys but
the objective throughout the 20th century was primarily confined to
supporting planimetric mapping
applications,
figure 1.
Contemporary
GIS enable efficient management and usage of
large
oblique-aerial-photography archives to rapidly provide end-users with
rich multi-perspective photographic
information about specific targets within large geographic
coverages, figure 2.
Our strategy
to develop this GIS
is to incorporate
the
following developmental divisions ...
-
innovative surveying methods,
- data
processing algorithm design,
-
and GIS programming.
Prospective economic viability is based on
the
provision of
effective and convenient tools
to
both government and commercial sectors who utilize
...
-
rapid
site-targeting,
-
enhanced
information extraction,
-
and
superior situational awareness.
