Box lunch Lanyards Pens 2 3 ASPRS Potomac Region, the 2005 Conference Planning Committee and I are pleased to welcome you to the ASPRS 2005 Conference and to the great City of Baltimore! The theme for this year’s conference is “Geospatial Goes Global: From Your Neighborhood to the Whole Planet.” Our theme, developed by the late Dr. Jan Gervin, will expound on the many technologies that abound in our profession to help our neighbors here and around the world. As educators, analysts, technologists, surveyors, engineers, planners, managers, photogrammetrists, photo interpreters, geographers, geographic information scientists, mapping scientists, remote sensing scientists, and students, you will hear presentations from the youngest and brightest in the industry and some of the world’s most renowned experts in their fi elds. We have a superb program planned with well over 400 technical and special session presentations covering the gamut of geospatial technologies and applications to manage our environment, regulate our development, prepare for disasters, improve our data sharing, build our enterprise assets, strengthen our national security, and advance the quality of life in neighborhoods around the globe. Our Poster Sessions include over 70 presentations and demonstrations that will be available for viewing during the week. We are also hosting several technical tours and a Classifi ed Session. Preceding our technical presentations we are offering 14 outstanding workshops that will address current topics in the ever advancing fi elds of imaging and geospatial information and provide resources for the academic, government and private sector users of these technologies to stay current. CEUs will be awarded for these workshops. Our Keynote address will be given by Dr. Chip Groat, director U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) who serves as the U.S. representative to GEO, the international organization shaping the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), which is a critical piece of what we view the future to be for managing natural resources and protecting and creating an environment that is healthy and economically benefi cial. On Thursday, our plenary session speakers– Santiago Borrero, Secretary General, Pan American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH) and Jack Dangermond, president, ESRI, respectively will share their visions of a global quilt of spatial information using web services and the internet, and promoting international cooperation and collaboration in support of local, national and international spatial data infrastructure developments. In addition, incoming ASPRS President Karen Schuckman will deliver her address on “Mapping the Way for the Next Generation of ASPRS.” Closing our conference will be Paul Rooney of FEMA and Bert Beaulieu, director of the Offi ce of the Americas in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Analysis and Production Directorate, speaking on the topics of Flood Disasters and Homeland Security. An exceptional range of products and services, many of them just released, are on display by over 100 vendors in the Exhibit Hall located in the Marriot Waterfront Hotel, the conference headquarters. The Exhibit Hall is open Wednesday through Friday. 2 3 We have three noteworthy social events. The fi rst is the Welcome Reception hosted by the Potomac Region and its immediate Past President Dr. Brad Doorn and President Nate Smite on Tuesday evening. The theme of the reception will be a “Taste of Baltimore.” The second is our annual social held on Thursday evening at the National Aquarium in Baltimore – which is a short walk from the conference hotel. There you can tour the tidewaters of Maryland, the Pacifi c coastland, and go deep into the Atlantic coral reef and the open ocean to observe numerous species of fi sh and the sharks, without ever leaving Baltimore. Awards will be presented to deserving recipients throughout the week at various sessions. All awardees will be honored at the Awards Luncheon on Wednesday. As a means of honoring the men and women deceased, who have made remarkable contributions to our profession, plan to attend the Memorial Address on Thursday. This year’s honorees are Hugh “Red” Loving and Duane C. Brown. I particularly want to thank our exhibitors and sponsors for their support, and I want to encourage you to learn about their products and services. Words can not express my thanks to the men and women who worked so hard in organizing the conference and the leadership and dedication of my committee of chairs and co-chars. I also want to recognize the efforts of Dr. Jan Gervin, who championed our industry with her dedication and support. Dr. Gervin served as the original chairperson for this conference before her untimely death on April 5, 2004. I personally have missed her energy, enthusiasm and knowledge and hope that this event lives up to her expectations and commitment to a better and more informed world. Finally, I want to thank you, the conference participants, for your continued support of ASPRS. The future success of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and geospatial technologies depends on the dedicated users and developers who are committed to making “Geospatial Go Global: From Their Neighborhood to the Whole Planet.” Welcome to “Charm City” and Have a Great Conference Experience!

Richard K. Campbell Conference Chair

4 5 Greetings friends and fellow ASPRS members. We are happy you have joined us here in Baltimore for the 2005 Annual Conference and Exhibition. It has been some time since we have met in Baltimore. I have been looking forward to crab cakes, Little Italy, the waterfront, and time together to share knowledge and friendship. The Conference Committee and your hosts, the Potomac Region, have done a superb job of putting together a very timely and informative program with outstanding keynote and plenary session speakers. There are over 400 technical papers being presented, affording you a chance to learn the latest developments in all aspects of our industry. Additionally, more than 70 poster and electronic presentations will be made. These can be viewed in the area just outside the General Session Meeting Room on the Harborside Level of the hotel. Also, I hope that you take advantage of the many educational workshops that we offer for your continued professional development. The Exhibit Hall this year is not to be missed. You have the opportunity to see the most recent advances in technology all here for you under one roof. The Opening Reception on Wednesday evening in the Exhibit Hall is a great place to meet old friends and make new ones. The technical tours available in the Baltimore/Washington area are very exciting and give you a chance to see the tools of our trade in action. Also, please plan to join us on Thursday for our conference social event of an Evening in the National Aquarium. As my presidency of ASPRS draws to a close, I want to thank each of you for your help and support in making this a very busy and memorable year for me. I am happy to report that we have begun a new endeavor by establishing The ASPRS Foundation, Inc. The primary purposes of this Foundation are the coordination of fundraising activities from the geospatial community for improvement of our technology and science; the support of professional development; the encouragement of research; the fostering of internships; and as a vehicle for international information exchange. The Foundation will offer all of us a means of pursuing the goals I set for my presidency of mentoring young careers and encouraging all of us. It will give us a focused way of giving back to our profession, rewarding excellence, and encouraging participation. Personally, I feel this is a very strong obligation that we all must accept to give back more than we take. If there is anything I can do for any of you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me. Enjoy the conference and keep up the great work of ASPRS.

Workshops

WS #9 — Close Range Techniques for the Conservation and Rehabilitation of the Cultural Heritage 8:00 am to 12 noon, .04 CEU, Room: Essex C Paul Bryan and Michael Clowes, English Heritage, UK The consequences of the recent war in Iraq have resulted in the serious loss and damage to the cultural heritage in the region. Events have highlighted the urgent need to collect data on the many monuments and sites under threat. Accurate and economic geospatial survey data of these buildings and sites will form an important part of the re- stabilization and regeneration of the country. An understanding of a country’s past plays an important part in formulating its future. This workshop is intended to provide information on the methods and developments in close range photogrammetry and associated techniques such as laser scanning related specifically to building conservation and rehabilitation. It will examine how this technology is now regularly used for architectural and archaeological projects as an aid to the management of the historic environment. The benefit of providing economic survey data that can either be archived and analysed when required or integrated into a CAD system within days of capture will also be demonstrated. The instructors will illustrate their presentations through case studies derived from their own personal background and experience. These will be complemented with project examples using a digital photogrammetric workstation. th The workshop is expected to be of significant value to survey professionals who will already be working in mapping but wish to investigate the possibility of expanding into the close range environment. It will also be an opportunity for professionals in the construction industry to perceive the impact that this exciting technology can make especially in the areas of architecture, facilities

Notes ______36 37 Thursday, March 10th Registration 7:30 am to 5:00 pm Grand Ballroom Level Plenary Session 8:00 am to 9:35 am, Room: Harborside Ballroom Relevance of a Global Spatial Data Infrastructure: A Developing World Perspective Santiago Borrero, Secretary General, Pan American Institute of Geography and History To establish a sound Spatial Data Infrastructure demands a significant amount of resources and time. The fight against poverty and the need for social and economic growth should be the main priorities for developing economies around the globe. However, there is no contradiction. In this context, Santiago Borrero will comment on the need for governments and the civil society to invest in the construction of appropriate geographic information infrastructures linking spatial information and development options. The Secretary General, a graduate of MIT, has extensive experience in Development, mainly in the production and application of spatial information to land administration and the strategic value of geographic information for developing nations. He has chaired the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI), the Permanent Committee on SDI for the Americas (PC-IDEA) and the PAIGH Cartographic Commission. In Colombia, he has been Director General of the “Agustin Codazzi” Geographic Institute (1994-2002), and General Manager of Bogotá’s Water Supply Company and the National Fund for Development Projects. Mapping the Way for the Next Generation of ASPRS Karen Shuckman, ASPRS President (2005-2006); GeoSpatial Applications Director, EarthData Solutions As the geospatial data and information industry grows and evolves, the demographics of ASPRS membership are also changing. Recent ASPRS conference themes have focused on the development and application of geospatial technologies in the new millenium. The profile of the geospatial professional is also changing, and ASPRS must understand and respond to this in order to maintain its position as the leading professional society in the core areas of photogrammetry, remote sensing and GIS. Ms. Schuckman will address the ways ASPRS will support the needs of those individuals, corporate, government and academic entities who will lead the industry through its next stage of growth. Schuckman has served as Director of the ASPRS Photogrammetric Applications and Professsional Practice Divisions, and held officer positions in the Northern California Region and the North Carolina Chapter of ASPRS. Prior to her 10 years with EarthData, she worked for the USGS National Mapping Division in Menlo Park, California. Can Distributed GIS Efforts Become a Global System? Jack Dangermond, President, ESRI For several decades, there have been discussions about developing a global GIS. Recently, the vision of “organizing and integrating” efforts into a kind of global quilt of spatial information using web services and the internet has emerged. Jack Dangermond will explore the vision, the technology, and the practical implications for realizing this vision as a global system. th Jack Dangermond is the Founder and President of ESRI, the world’s fourth largest privately held software company. He fostered the growth of ESRI from a small research group to an organization of 2,700 employees, known internationally for GIS software development, training, and services.

They will help us relive memorable moments from the lives of two of our distinguished colleagues. John Brown will chronicle the life of his father Duane Brown. Roy Mullen will present memories of Hugh B. Loving.

Duane Brown

Duane Brown’s career in mathematics and photogrammetry was long and distinguished. He received his BSBA in Mathematics from Yale University in 1951 with honors. Throughout his career Duane was a prolific inventor, author and entrepreneur. In photogrammetry, Duane was a true “renaissance man” who was deeply involved in every aspect of the development of industrial photogrammetry. In the mathematical arena, he developed the bundle method of photogrammetric triangulation, which he later expanded to include the algorithm for first-order partitioned regression. He also developed advanced mathematical techniques for camera calibration and error modeling that are still widely used today. In the area of instrumentation, he first developed extremely accurate mono-comparators and large glass plate cameras, and then proceeded to development of the large-format CRC film cameras and the AutoSet automatic monocomparator. Finally, Duane was a “serial entrepreneuer”, founding several successful companies during his career to advance and commercialize his life’s work. His latest firm, Geodetic Systems, is extending his legacy into the area of high-accuracy digital photogrammetry. Duane received much well-deserved recognition for his accomplishments throughout his groundbreaking career. In 1960, he received the David Sarnoff Award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering. In 1962, he was awarded the Robert Gordon Memorial Award from the Society of Photo-Optical Engineers. In 1969, he won the Talbert Abrams Award of ASPRS (and also received honorable mention in 1960 and 1977). In 1970 and again in 1980, he won the Sherman Mill Fairchild award of the ASPRS. In 1988, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Stuttgart, and that same year received the prestigious Brock Gold Medal from ISPRS as well as honorary membership in ASPRS. In summary, Duane’s lifelong work and formative accomplishments in every area of modern industrial photogrammetry has earned him the title of “Father of Modern Day Photogrammetry.”

Presenter John Brown John Brown, the son of Duane Brown, received his bachelor’s degree in Engineering & Applied Science from Yale University in 1978, graduating with high honors and with distinction in the major. John has over 25 years experience in industrial photogrammetry. He joined Geodetic Services, Inc. in 1978 and was primarily responsible for the company’s software and electronic developments throughout the 1980s. These included working closely with Duane on development of the company’s groundbreaking STARS line of photogrammetric products including the CRC line of close-range industrial cameras and AutoSet, a highly accurate, high-speed fully automatic monocomparotor. John received his master’s degree in Business Administration with honors from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina in 1993. He rejoined GSI in 1993 as President and since then has been responsible for overall company development, including the technical and market development of the company’s state-of-the-art V-STARS industrial photogrammetry systems.

44 45 Hugh B. Loving

Hugh B. Loving, ‘Red’ as he was known to all who shared his friendship, was born in Hot Springs, Virginia in 1921. He attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the National Business College. In 1942 he began his government career in mapping with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in photogrammetric mapping of wartime strategic areas. He left the Geological Survey to join the U.S. Army Air Corps where he served as a pilot, until returning to the Survey in 1945 where he continued to participate in both photogrammetric and field surveying operations in support of its topographic operations. In the early 1950s Red was assigned to the Branch of Aerial Photography in the Office of Research and Technical Standards. While on this assignment he was responsible for the procurement of the largest aerial photography project, using low oblique transverse mounted aerial cameras, in the Brooks Range, Alaska. Red served as project manager, on site, for this procurement. In 1957 he joined private industry, serving as Executive Vice President of Erdman, Smock, Hosley and Reed, an engineering firm. In 1959 he returned to the federal government and the USGS and worked in the Branch of Research and Design, Office of Research and Technical Standards, then under the direction of Russell K. Bean. Red was the co-inventor of the Airborne Control Survey System, a method of rapidly extending control for mapping, using helicopter supported surveying. The patent for one of the components of this system, the Hoversight, was issued in his name. For his many accomplishments in the governments mapping operations he was awarded the Department of the Interior’s Meritorious Service Medal in 1972. His service to the American Society of Photogrammetry merited high recognition, resulting in his election to President of ASP in 1976 and in 1978 his being named an Honorary Member of the Society, an honor limited to a maximum of 25 living members.

Presenter Roy Mullen Roy Mullen is a native of New Jersey. After four years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1942 to 1946 he returned to college and graduated from the American University in 1951. Upon graduation he joined the U.S. Geological Survey, beginning 43 years working for the federal government. He served in the Atlantic Region office, working in all phases of map production, both in photogrammetry and field operations. He worked for six years in the Branch of Research and Design, Office of Research and Technical and served as Chief, Branch of Photogrammetry and the headquarters staff from 1969 to 1972. He then joined the executive level management team of the Topographic Division when he was selected as Pacific Region Engineer in Menlo Park, California. Roy was responsible for all mapping operations in the western U.S. and the Trust Territories of the Pacific. He returned to Reston headquarters in 1976 to the position of Assistant Chief Topographic Engineer for Research and Technical Standards where he led that activity during the transition from graphic map production to the digital map domain. In 1980 he was selected as Associate Chief of the National Mapping Division, sharing with the Division Chief full responsibility for the technical, scientific and administrative activities of the nation’s civilian mapping operations. Roy is an Emeritus and Fellow Member of the ASPRS and has served the Society in many different capacities, the most recent as Technical Editor of the 5th Edition of the Manual of Photogrammetry.
