Airborne Videography Research

The company has a service that analyzes property for hazardous sites, soil contamination, etc., through airborne video imagery. The company wants to be able to:

1. Identify and contact prospective customers
2. Identify and keep current on Federal and State regulations governing land management as it relates to toxic waste sites
3. Identify Federal and other monies and programs available for land surveys and assessments and for clean up.
4. Maintain contact with its field personnel and be able to transfer project negotiations, contracts, and the computerized surveys to the home office.
5. Stay current with the literataure on environmental assessment & analysis and geographic information systems (GIS); stay up on current news about the company's industry and regulatory environment; and stay current on software developments in the fields of environmental compliance and assessment, airborne imaging and remote sensing.

First Steps

My first step was to find some information about GIS, remote sensing, and environmental assessment. I went to a resource that has Internet guides about lots of things.

Argus Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides (UMich): Resource Guides to the Internet by subject authored by experts in the field. http://www.clearinghouse.net/
The guide that proved most relevant for this research was Online Resources for Earth Scientists by Bill Thoen. This guide identified the interest groups that I chose to monitor for the project.
gopher://una.hh.lib.umich.edu:70/00/inetdirsstacks/earthsci%3Athoen
[The report is no longer available on Argus. October 1, 2000]

I then checked one gopher (an early Internet search engine) subject guide and three WWW subject guides for environmental information resources. I located some excellent resources during this research -- some no longer exist.

Rice University Information by Subject: This was a very thorough gopher-based subject guide that linked you directly to the resources found, but it is no longer being updated.
WWW Virtual Library Data Sources by Subject. Each subject area in this index was compiled and hosted by an expert in the field. The World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Environment - Subject Tree - General was the resource applicable to this project.
Trade Wave Galaxy was another of my favorite subject guides at that time.
http://www1.galaxy.com/
Yahoo is where I found most of my company and product information.
http://www.yahoo.com

Using Interest Groups to Find Information

After subscribing to and then monitoring several relevant interest groups for a week, two groups were selected as being the most likely sources for background and current information in the field, and for identifying key players in the field: potential customers and competitors: Digital Image Processing of Remotely Sensed Data (IMAGRS-L) and Geographic Information Systems Discussion List (GIS-L). These interest groups are non-commercial, so I decided to send a simple request for information about the field of airborne videography.

The messages were sent on Thursday September 29, 1994 at 11:35 and 11:36 a.m. The first answer was sent back less than an hour later at 12:27 p.m. Nineteen responses in all were received; 17 via email; 2 by phone.

Hello Terry

Myself and others in the Geography Dept. at San Diego State University have
been working with Positive Systems Inc (PSI) , of Kalispell, Montana on
digital video and now digital multispectral camera imaging for environmental
analyses. You might want to contact Ron Behrendt of PSI to learn about
specifics of their system.  We (SDSU and PSI) also plan to assess potential of
this technology for hazardous waste applications over the next few years and
would appreciate any info. that you might receive from your e-mail list
requests.  Currently we are working more on habitat monitoring applications
and PSI has also assisted customers with forestry and non-point source
pollution applications.

Cheers, Doug Stow

Terry,
You might want to contact the people at the Cornell Lab for Environmental
Applications of Remote Sensing (CLEARS).  I know they were working
with video and hazardous waste site assessment.  I don't know if
they were working with the two together.  Steve DeGloria would be
a good contact point.
Also check with the ASPRS.  They have a videography workshop every
two years or so. There might be something in the proceedings.
Let me know how you make out.

Terry,

I saw your post on the IMAGES-L newsgroup about airborne videography for
hazardous waste assessment.

My group has had a little bit of experience doing this but only on a pilot
project basis (in other words we only did this once).  But what my group does
have a tremendous amount of experiece with are building the sensor systems.

The Space Remote Sensing Center had been very successful building digital (and
I stress digital versus analog) video systems for projects within our
agriculture initiative.  We've been flying our systems for three years over
high value crops to detect stress (bugs, water, etc.).

We basically build two different models in which one utilizes Cohu video
camerasand the other uses Kodak Megaplus cameras.  As I stated earlier both
systems
are true digital camera systems which eliminates the need to do any analog to
digital conversion of the data.

If you are interested in having SRSC fly our system over your study area just
drop me a line.  My groups main reason for being is to commercialize the use
of remote sensing and we would be happy to talk to you about collaborating on
a project.

Tim

I have been working with Airborne Videography extensively for the past
three years.  My work has mainly centered on the automatic mosaicking of
video into digitial images that can then be analyzed using a GIS.  I have
done some site selection work using video.  I'm not sute what you are
looking for.  Do you want to detect exiting hazardous waste sites or do
you want to select sites for hazardous waste ( I've have done some of this
work at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal but using maps and aerial photos, not
video)?

Anyway, I am attaching an extensive bibliography that I have compiled for
Airborne Videography.  It does not include any articles specific to
hazardous waste but might be of assistance to you.

I do consult extensively in the area of remote sensing for environmental
assesment.  Please contact me via e-mail, mail, or phone if you require
additional info.

Hello:

Try contacting Arthur Roberts at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, BC.
It has been several years since I last talked with Arthur, but he
specialized in Airborne Videography for many years and probably still is.
There is also a chap at the University of Toronto - but I've forgotten his
name.

Arthur also fly his own plane and I believe does some consuting work.  My
company consults in the field of satellite and airborne scanner data (SPOT,
Landsat, ERS-1, Daedalus MSS, MEIS, etc). Our work is mostly environmental
assessment, mapping, and monitoring - using EASI-PACE IP software and
ARC-INFO.

Best of luck with Arthur - give him my regards:

- Geoff

Subject: Videography for Hazardous Waste Site Detection
Status: R

Dear Terry,

   A friend of mine saw a message you sent requesting contacts for
people knowlegeable about using videography for detecting haz waste
sites.  I don't have any experience with videography for this
purpose, but have been studying the use of digital analysis of
historical airphotos and geophysical data within a GIS to characterize
waste sites at Los Alamos National Laboratory.  I was working
there for the past 3 years and have come to Madison to earn a
PhD in Environmental Monitoring.  Hopefully my PhD dissertation will
be an indepth look into this concept.  I may have a reference or
two on using videography for this purpose, but first let's see
if this gets to you and what your interest and background is.

Sincerely,

Paul Pope

Dear Terry:

I am responding to your note regarding the use of aerial videography in
environmental assesment.

I have experience using high resolution digital imagery in environmental
analysis.  I am an environmental consultant who provides clients with
GIS, remote sensing, and GPS services, training, and support.  My company
is GEO INFO Services and we have experience in riparian and wetland
inventory, mapping, and assessment; and forest and rangeland surveys.
Recently we have been involved in the wetland surveys related to a very
large superfund project in Montana.

I also work with a firm here in Montana that flies a digital sensor in fixed
wing aircraft to acquire multispectral digital imagery with 1 -3 meter
pixel resolution.

I believe that remote sensing has great potential in the study of
ecosystem disturbance.

I would be very interested in discussing the details with you.  I would
be more than happy to supply you more info about myself, my company, and
our services.

sincerely:

David DelSordo

Positive Systems have airborne imaging camera that
has been used for haz. waste sites characterization.
They are based in Whitefish Lake, Montana.  The last phone number
I had for them is  406 257 7745.  Their camera ADAR 2000
is not videography however.

Dr. Robert Maggio at Texas A&M was very big
into airborne videography as well a couple years
ago.

Response and Summary Back to the Interest Groups

Part of the culture of the Internet is to give back as much as, or more than, you take from the Internet. In interest group terms, that means that you provide answers as much as you ask them. It is considered to be good Netiquette to provide a summary of the responses received to a question, if it is deemed to be of interest to the entire group.

I provided a very brief summary, thanking all of the respondents via the list. I provided a list of experts uncovered by the research, and said I'd be happy to provide more information, if people wanted. I received three responses to that message, two of which were interested in my research services.


I wish to thank all those who responded to my September 29th
request for information on using airborne videography to analyze
and search for hazardous waste sites. I have passed the responses
on to my client who will be following up with phone calls or
further email in the near future. (FYI, I am an electronic
information resources specialist who helps businesses find
information on the internet and other online systems.)

The following is a summary of the some of the organizations,
companies, and individuals involved in this field that I was
referred to during this project. If you want more complete
contact information, please email me.
