Tech'atval Report 65-9225-1, dated 6 December
25X1
1965 used a letter Erase
suggest3t a chats a in caeu-tract to provide
25X1
additional incentives.
2. The overall report is very good and it appears that I
will be
25X1
able to incorporate all of the features and capabilities required in this
systame. Basically the system can handle three film chips up to 9 1/2 inches
in size, one thanool is selected as a mustow, and the other two channels
correlated and transformed g cnetrical1,y b an electronic system. The
integrated Image can be printed an film at high resolution in lass than
one seared. o of the i rtant features is the gseea control and shadow
suppression. This vas demonstrated in a breadboard attachment to an Area
Viewer during a monitor trip to the contractors facility. This feature
will pron. extrammay valuable in vorMng with low contrast images .
This system will not autamatically- correlate, relief displacements but
Ie is researching this higher order image transformation under another 25X1
I at and oar system will have the add-on capability in the rant it is
successful.
3. The only reservation I have at this time is in the image area
t-ieved at input. The proposed sizes are: 0.25 inches square for 122
"e ' fiction. 0.45 inches square for 6.7x and 0.8O inches square for
3.Tz. While this appears to be satisfactory for not photography, it may
be difficult with large s"le low contrast imagery. The final use of the
recorded image will have to be considered is selecting the spot size at
the film plane. It the recorded film is to be used. in reports to indicate
the integrated image in relation to its surroundings (radar at airfield,
control house at missile site, cooling towers at steel plant, eta.), it
night be better to hale a larger spot else at the film piano and settle
for lover magnifieatieen and resolution on the recorded film. Conversely,
if vo au a only interested in integrating snuff film sizes, we should follow
the sizes prto+posed bVE I tend to less twva rd the sizes they propose 25X1
bea your viewpoint.
