Contents of BESRL Aerial Surveillance Film Library - 1 January 1968

The Aerial Surveillance Film Library in the Technical Support Branch of the Behavioral Science Research Laboratory contains imagery collected and organized for measuring interpreter performance. The present publication provides a listing of imagery in the library as of 1 January 1968. The imagery is organized by geographical areas and by imagery collection exercises, or projects, within each area. Amplifying information includes technical data on type of imagery, cameras or sensors used, time and weather conditions under which the imagery was obtained, description of the terrain and targets covered, and in most cases production status of ground truth or image truth keys developed by expert image interpreters. The listing was prepared primarily to assist BESRL research scientists in finding appropriate imagery for laboratory experimentation on specific aspects of image interpretation performance. The listing is made available in its present form in the belief that it may be of value to other research laboratories within the United States government or to their contractors. Arrangements can be made for temporary loan of selected imagery for study or for reproduction.
