Abstract

Emerging requirements for detailed spatial databases to support a variety of Department of Defense (DoD) activities may require substantial investment in basic research to advance the state-of-the-art in automated cartographic database construction and maintenance. This paper provides a technical rationale for pursuing a new initiative focused on the application of image understanding technology to automated cartography in support of programs for simulation and training, mission planning, autonomous navigation, and the analysis of intelligence imagery.
