Leica Geosytems Geospatial Imaging provided this month’s cover image, which
demonstrates the capabilities of the Leica ALS50 Airborne Laser Scanner and the company’s 3D visualization
solutions, including Virtual GIS. This image was processed by Sanborn and shows the broken Taum Sauk
reservoir dam in South-Central Missouri sending a rush of water 200 yards wide, emptying the reservoir’s
1.5 billion gallons in 12 minutes. (Reprinted with

1225 Using USDA Crop Progress Data for the Evaluation
of Greenup Onset Date Calculated from MODIS 250-Meter Data.
Brian D. Wardlow, Jude H. Kastens, and Stephen L. Egbert
An evaluation of the greenup onset dates estimated from
time-series MODIS 250-meter NDVI data for summer crops in
Kansas.
1235 Evaluation of the Horizontal Resolution of SRTM
Elevation Data
Leland Pierce, Josef Kellndorfer, Wayne Walker, and Oton Barros
The horizontal resolution of SRTM elevation data is evaluated
using two approaches with the conclusion that it varies between
1 and 1.6 pixels depending on the local fi lter applied.
1245 Fuzzy Multi-temporal Land-use Analysis and Mine
Clearance Application
Florence Landsberg, Sabine Vanhuysse, and Eleonore Wolff
Methods for the detection of agricultural land-use changes
possible due to mine contamination using very dissimilar imagery
and classifi cation processes.
1255 Epipolar Resampling of Space-borne Linear Array
Scanner Scenes Using Parallel Projection
Michel Morgan, Kyung-Ok Kim, Soo Jeong, and Ayman Habib
A new approach that utilizes parallel projection modeling
of space-borne linear array scanners to resample captured
scenes according to epipolar geometry.
1265 Influence of Vegetation, Slope, and Lidar Sampling
Angle on DEM Accuracy
