A powerful paradigm would be to convey information about a distributed network to a decision maker using natural attributes of display systems such as color, shape, and other variables. Future visualizations are hypothesized to enable decision makers to better understand complex visualizations so they can allocate scarce resources to protect their networks.","PeriodicalId":254758,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116993892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus it takes a long time to create them for cities and update them as those cities that are already modeled continue to change. Multiple parallel-perspective mosaics can be generated from video automatically and more efficiently and can be used to reconstruct 3D scenes faster. A lot of video currently exists on the Internet, many of which are of aerial scenes that are currently not being utilized to their full potential. Reconstructing scenes from video provides the benefit of containing dynamic activity and texture information of the scenes in addition to the 3D structure data.","PeriodicalId":254758,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117020438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we design, develop, and demonstrate a feasible aimpoint solution. In the design, we derive the mathematical transformation requirements to show a system-level design. Using the transformations, we develop an operational methodology for real-time and robust aimpoint solution that includes a ground antenna, and an aircraft with a gimbal mounted camera and data link. Finally, we demonstrate a workable prototype with real-world results. The AIMS methodology supports communication timing constraints, a closed-loop feedback for error correction, and a succinct, efficient, and effective method for maintaining persistent surveillance.","PeriodicalId":254758,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126179448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
