PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ENGINEERING & REMOTE SENSING
COLUMNS
Digital cartography and GIS
have become an everyday
item. GIS can be found almost
everywhere in the web,
providing information for the
location of a business or driving
instructions to reach a destination. The book
introduces the mathematical concepts behind the
GIS, mapping, and visualization.
This month we look at The Kingdom of Belgium.

The Influence of Elliptical Gaussian Laser Beam on Inversion of
Terrain Information for Satellite Laser Altimeter
Zhou Hui, Li Song,
and
Yang Chi
The description of the inversion error of terrain information when a transmitted laser
pulse from a satellite laser altimeter changes from the circular Gaussian beam to the
elliptical Gaussian beam.

Evaluation of Geometric Elements of Repeat Station Imaging and
Registration
Douglas A. Stow, Lloyd C. Coulter, Christopher D. Lippitt, Garrick MacDonald, Richard
McCreight,
and
Nicholas Zamora
Geometric aspects of image capture and registration in the context of an approach called
repeat station imaging are evaluated in a theoretical and empirical fashion.

Modeling the Effects of Horizontal Positional Error on Classification
Accuracy Statistics
Henry B. Glick, Devin Routh, Charlie Bettigole, Lindsi Seegmiller, Catherine Kuhn,
and
Chadwick D. Oliver
Spatially-explicit Monte Carlo simulations were used to examine the trends in
classification accuracies as co-registration between image and ground reference plots
deteriorated.

Vegetation Effects Modeling in Soil Moisture Retrieval Using MSVI
Mina Moradizadeh
and
Mohammad R. Saradjian
The potential capability of the SLPRM algorithm using the SMEX03 dataset; a new
index called MSVI has been developed to estimate vegetation transmissivity using three
different sensors.
