The following is the suggested modification to the proposal,
"Microdensitometer Support" submitted by Changes STATINTL
to'Section 3 will also result from these ons, but the proposed
contractor can redetermine that section.
SECTION 2
The program will'be carried out in two Phases with four Sub-phases
under Phase II. Generally speaking, Phase I comprises a familiarization,
.test, training and calibration period whereas Phase XI includes specific
applications in several areas.
This Phase Qf the program will consist of the necessary familiarization
with equipment, on-site and in-plant training, and equipment validation.
These procedures will be largely of a calibration and diagnostic nature.
It is proposed that the following be included in Phase I:
1. Basic Operator training at the contractor's plant, consisting
of a two-week period for two operators.
2. Equipment Familiarization and test at customer's facility and
at This step will include test runs,
diagnostic measurements, overarm stability tests, etc., with
data to be gathered on site and reduced at the contractor's
plant. A test report will be issued.
Phase II will include the provision of solutions and procedures
which are specifically oriented toward operational problems. This
Phase will include four Sub'-phases, defined below:
1. Sub-phase A
This step will consist of the establishment of detailed
calibration, mensuration, and diagnostic procedures, suitably
defined and published. Operator aids in the form of .homographs,
charts, etc., will be provided. Basic color techniques will
be devised, with particular emphasis on balance and aperture
size for various materials. Training will be provided where
required. Standard practice handbooks, f9rml; design, logging
recommendations, and recommendations for quality control and
maintenance programs will also be provided.-,

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/21: CIA-RDP78BO4747AO01100020001-7
Procedures requiring computer treatment will be defined
to the point where programming could begin and test data for
computer program analysis will be generated.
2. Sub-phase B
This Sub-phase will include the generation of reports
giving detailed procedural information for programming
the following.
a. Modulation transfer function (MTF) generation, utilizing
estimating filter techniques.
b. A general "one-shot". MTF technique.
c. Noise study procedures, including statistical analysis,
auto-correlation analysis, power spectral density computation,
etc., including trend correction, window selection, and
other techniques designed to improve confidence in results.
A running auto-correlation procedure and a piece-wise
p,s.d. estimator will be provided also.
d.- Table generation and data conversion-procedures for
effective exposure and generation synthesis.
e. Comparison techniques, including mean square difference,
cross-correlation, and other methods.
f. Mensuration data handling procedures.
Sub-phase C
This Sub-phase will be devoted to the 4reparation of
problem solutions and procedural recommendations specifically
related to the exploitation aspects of microdensitometry and
to the problems of a system diagnostic nature. Training will
be included as required and reports will be generated giving
step by step procedures for diagnosing exploitation system
anomolies. Procedures for determining confidence factors in
the diagnosis will also be established. Application of the
microdensitometer to-display techniques including density
contouring will be considered, with particular emphasis on
the detailed study of small scale objects.
4. Sub-phase D
This Sub-phase will consist of"investigations into color
microdensitometry. Detailed procedures for tri-color operations
will be published. Advanced studies of color microdensitometry
will be conducted with emphasis ob computerized data treatment.
Training will be provided as required.

SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
This proposal describes a program to provide assistance in estab-
lishing operational techniques and applications for theE:::]rype 1032T STATINTL
trichromatic microdensitometer. This assistance will apply to testing
of equipment, system activation, specific problem solution, procedural
development, definition of techniques for color microdensitometry, and
the establishment of standard operating methods and documentation.
The services to be provided will generally be considered complete at
the point of computer programming, if such is required, although com-
puter oriented services will be supplied upon request. Four problem
areas are proposed for inclusion, with the final group left undefined.
The accomplishment of the proposed program will provide the customer
with an efficient operating system designed to accommodate a wide class
of problems of specific interest.
It should be noted that procedures for color microdensitometry are
not currently well defined. Consequently, techniques must be developed
which will contribute best to the customer's mission. For this reason,
initial emphasis will be placed on heterochromatic analysis with develop-
ment of data processing techniques for color deferred until Sub-phase U-B.
