GROUND CONTROL DETERMINATION FOR REGISTRATION OF SATELLITE IMAGERY USING DIGITAL MAP DATA
Authors: Morris A. C. , Stevens A. , Muller J.‐P. A. L. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractWork is reported on the production of terrain elevation data from SPOT imagery. An important step in this process is determination of exterior orientation parameters for the images. Although an initial estimate is available in the SPOT header, refinements are required based on plan and height data. These are generally derived from photogrammetric measurements (or sources such as global positioning satellite systems), but accurate manual determination is time consuming.This paper reports an alternative approach by investigating the use of existing map data (located on the earth's surface and in a known projection) to find corresponding “ground control points” in both map and image. Available maps may be in digital or paper form depending on the state of development of mapping in the part of the world being studied. The last revision date and the cartographic generalisation employed will also effect the fidelity of the final result. Practical semi‐automatic techniques for determining the height of ground control points from existing map data are described, including multiple profiles through digitised contour data, a commercial terrain modelling package based on Delaunay triangulation and the use of triangulation points on prominent features.Comparisons between the methods are made and results obtained are compared with Institut Géographique National datasets and photogrammetric measurements. Methods for fully automating not only the height determination but also the location of ground control features within a map database are discussed. Map and image registration is described and illustrated using Laser‐Scan's Rover software. Interactive and automated methods of registration are discussed.

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND PHOTOGRAMMETRY ORGANISATIONAL ISSUES
Authors: Dale P. F. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis paper was presented at the 1990 Thompson Symposium. It distinguishes between geographical information systems (GIS) as a set of hardware and software tools and the institutional problems that arise when implementing GIS in an organisational environment. It examines issues such as data quality, that arise when treating information as a corporate resource, as well as the legal, economic and social constraints on the use of data.
GIS DATA CAPTURE FROM AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Warner W. S. , Carson W. W. , Braaten O. M. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA case study at the Norwegian Institute of Land Inventory (NIJOS) demonstrates that photogrammetry is an effective method for collecting data for geographical information systems (GIS). The process of establishing a photogrammetric data capture system is explained with special attention devoted to financial and personnel considerations. It is argued that photogrammetric data capture is viable provided that a stereodigitiser is used in conjunction with a modular solution GIS.
RECIPROCAL OBSERVATIONS IN PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Authors: Kyle S. A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe paper discusses a method of photogrammetric control for engineering problems which relies on reciprocal observations between instruments. Since photogrammetric networks do not usually permit cameras to point at one another, it is proposed that at least one additional theodolite station be used to establish these observations. This results in directly measured space triangles; in a sense the photogrammetric task becomes a surveying problem. Potential advantages are a more efficient use of mixed photogrammetric and survey measurements, a stronger network geometry and a direct solution for the orientation parameters of the instruments. Special attention must be given to targeting the camera and theodolite stations.
EMPIRICAL MODELS FOR ATTITUDE VARIABILITY OF THE SPOT I SATELLITE
Authors: Westin T. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractLonger sequences of attitude data for SPOT 1 were constructed by concatenation of the attitude information in several consecutive scenes in selected orbits. The attitude time series were used to estimate models for the attitude variogram functions. Explicit expressions for these models are given, which can be used in multi‐scene adjustment of SPOT imagery.
TRACKING MOVING OBJECTS WITH DIGITAL PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SYSTEMS
Authors: Gruen A. 
Published: July 2010

Abstract Fully digital photogrammetric close range systems allow for on line or even real time processing of data. This gives access to a great number of new applications, especially in those cases where a moving object has to be dynamically recorded or a moving sensor has to be positioned and oriented in three dimensional space, as is the case in robotics. This article gives a brief survey of the problems and potential of these new systems and techniques. Aspects of fast data acquisition and processing are addressed and a concise description of the DIPS II digital station is provided. The accuracy of digital systems is reviewed and two significant new algorithmic developments are referenced. Finally, three characteristic projects demonstrate the potential and performance of digital close range photogrammetry.

Published: July 2010

Abstract Low cost analytical plotters for use with 35 mm and 70 mm metric and non‐metric photography are increasingly being considered as a means of introducing photogrammetry to non‐photogrammetrists. One of these instruments, an Adam Technology MPS‐2, recently formed the basis for a research project into the feasibility of such non‐specialist use. During the project, an MPS‐2 users' group was formed and many of the current users were asked to complete a questionnaire detailing their experiences with the instrument. Almost 40 users responded and their replies are given in this paper, which begins by outlining the project and goes on to discuss the comments received. The paper ends with an appraisal of the MPS‐2 as seen through the eyes of its users and concludes that, considering its relatively low cost, it is definitely worthy of consideration by non‐specialists. Résumé On considère actuellement de plus en plus que les appareils de réstitution analytiques bon marché, permettant ľemploi des photographies 35 mm et 70 mm, métriques et non‐métriques, constituent un bon moyen ďinitiation des non‐photogrammètres à la photogrammétrie.

Effects of Alcohol Taxes on Alcohol‐Related Mortality in Florida: Time‐Series Analyses From 1969 to 2004
Authors: Maldonado‐Molina Mildred M. , Wagenaar Alexander C. 
Published: July 2010

Background:  Over a hundred studies have established the effects of beverage alcohol taxes and prices on sales and drinking behaviors. Yet, relatively few studies have examined effects of alcohol taxes on alcohol‐related mortality. We evaluated effects of multiple changes in alcohol tax rates in the state of Florida from 1969 to 2004 on disease (not injury) mortality.Methods:  A time‐series quasi‐experimental research design was used, including nonalcohol deaths within Florida and other states’ rates of alcohol‐related mortality for comparison. A total of 432 monthly observations of mortality in Florida were examined over the 36‐year period. Analyses included ARIMA, fixed‐effects, and random‐effects models, including a noise model, tax independent variables, and structural covariates.Results:  We found significant reductions in mortality related to chronic heavy alcohol consumption following legislatively induced increases in alcohol taxes in Florida. The frequency of deaths (t = −2.73, p = 0.007) and the rate per population (t = −2.06, p = 0.04) declined significantly. The elasticity effect estimate is −0.22 (t = −1.88, p = 0.06), indicating a 10% increase in tax is associated with a 2.2% decline in deaths.Conclusions:  Increased alcohol taxes are associated with significant and sizable reductions in alcohol‐attributable mortality in Florida. Results indicate that 600 to 800 lives per year could be saved if real tax rates were returned to 1983 levels (when the last tax increase occurred). Findings highlight the role of tax policy as an effective means for reducing deaths associated with chronic heavy alcohol use.
Liver Disease and HPLC Quantification of Disialotransferrin for Heavy Alcohol Use: A Case Series
Authors: Stewart Scott H. , Comte‐Walters Susana , Bowen Emily , Anton Raymond F. 
Published: July 2010

Background:  It had previously been suggested that individuals with cirrhosis may have a pattern of transferrin glycosylation that interferes with the interpretation of carbohydrate‐deficient transferrin (CDT) testing for heavy alcohol use. The goal of this case series was to evaluate the prevalence of liver disease among individuals with poor resolution of transferrin glycoforms by high performance liquid chromatography.Methods:  We reviewed the electronic medical records of 35 consecutive patients with poor chromatographic resolution of disialotransferrin from trisialotransferrin and recorded information on diagnosed liver disease, liver function testing, and other factors.Results:  Thirty of the 35 subjects with poor chromatographic resolution of the transferrin glycoforms had sufficient data in the medical record for some estimation of liver function. Of these 30 subjects, 25 had previously diagnosed liver pathology. Of the remaining 5 subjects, 2 had liver imaging results suggestive of benign tumor; the remaining 3 had mildly elevated bilirubin and aminotransferase activity, and low albumin.Conclusions:  Liver abnormalities, but not necessarily cirrhosis, are common in individuals with poor chromatographic separation of transferrin glycoforms, which might lead to false‐positive results on CDT testing. However, the chromatographic‐based assay can detect this issue, minimizing the reporting of false positives, but not necessarily assisting in valid detection of heavy drinking.

Published: July 2010

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate effects of a multicomponent intervention on fecal incontinence (FI) and urinary incontinence (UI) outcomes.DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Six nursing homes (NHs).PARTICIPANTS: One hundred twelve NH residents.INTERVENTION: Intervention subjects were offered toileting assistance, exercise, and choice of food and fluid snacks every 2 hours for 8 hours per day over 3 months.MEASUREMENTS: Frequency of UI and FI and rate of appropriate toileting as determined by direct checks from research staff. Anorectal assessments were completed on a subset of 29 residents.RESULTS: The intervention significantly increased physical activity, frequency of toileting, and food and fluid intake. UI improved (P=.049), as did frequency of bowel movements (P<.001) and percentage of bowel movements (P<.001) in the toilet. The frequency of FI did not change. Eighty‐nine percent of subjects who underwent anorectal testing showed a dyssynergic voiding pattern, which could explain the lack of efficacy of this intervention program alone on FI.CONCLUSION: This multicomponent intervention significantly changed multiple risk factors associated with FI and increased bowel movements without decreasing FI. The dyssynergic voiding pattern and rectal hyposensitivity suggest that future interventions may have to be supplemented with bulking agents (fiber), biofeedback therapy, or both to improve bowel function.
