On November 17, 2004, EarthData, in partnership with Raytheon Solipsys and
Trex Enterprises, completed phase-1 development of the Airborne Rapid Imaging
for Emergency Support (ARIES) system by conducting a full-scale demonstration
at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey. The pre-prototype system confirmed ARIES’ capabilities
to acquire multi-sensor aerial data and transmit it to the ground for near-real-time
processing, product development, and dissemination.The cover images show the
geo-referenced products of the November 17th demo including the thermal data
(smallest, top layer), the orthophoto, the reflective surface lidar, and the
bare earth
lidar. ARIES and the demonstration are described in the article on pages357-360.

A demonstration of incremental improvements in the performance
of integrated GPS/INS systems by using better gravity compensation, IMU signal
de-noising, and sensor-customized stochastic modeling of IMU errors.
The
development and testing of a method for the re-construction of a photogrammetric
strip
of non-metric video images from a helicopter based on two kinematic
GPS receivers without ground control or an IMU.
An algorithm for recognizing speed limit signs
from
videoimaging and extracting the numerical figures to support real-time
road inventory data
collection operations.
Automatic generation of DTM from lidar
data
with varying point densities and scene complexity by processing the image
pyramid using
the hierarchical
strategy and adaptive filtering.
The design and implementation of a airport pavement distress data collection
and management system utilizing GPS, Pocket PCs, digital cameras,
and wireless communication.
