Engineering Research Equipment: Printing & Data Archiving Equipment

根据这笔拨款购买的设备将用于自动化和计算机辅助图像数据解释的跨学科研究计划。该计划的主要组成部分是自动化图像处理和环境遥感，都在工程学院内。所要求的设备将用于地球和海洋科学以及全球变化的一般领域。现有研究的一些例子如下：o海冰合成孔径雷达观测资料的解译。o控制热带疾病的卫星遥感。o利用合成孔径雷达绘制地球表面地形图。

The equipment purchased under this grant will be used in an interdisciplinary research program in automated and computer assisted image data interpretation. The principal components of the program are automated image processing and environmental remote sensing, all within the college of engineering. Applications of the requested equipment would lie in the general area of earth and ocean science and global change. Some examples of existing research are as follows: o Interpretation of synthetic aperture radar observations of sea ice. o Satellite remote sensing for the control of tropical diseases. o Topographic mapping of Earth's surface via synthetic aperture radar.
