| The Moving Map Composer - Personal Computer (MMCPC) software is specifically designed and configured to support Finnish Air Force (FiAF) F/A-18 mission planners and pilots in the field. Previous versions of the MMC were installed on Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Alpha workstations, which used the OpenVMS operating system and supported the AN/ASQ-196 Honeywell digital map system. MMCPC is a Microsoft (MS) Windows-based software application that provides data processing and mission/theater ... |

|
| The smart management of clutter is a key component in designing intelligent, next-generation user interfaces and electronic displays. Intelligent devices can enhance a user's situational awareness under adverse conditions. In this paper we present two approaches to assist a user with target detection and clutter analysis, and we suggest how these tools could be integrated with an electronic chart system. The first tool, an information fusion technique, is a multiple-view ... |

|
| In support of Military Mine Warfare (MIW) clearance operations for safe vessel passage, analysts perform change detection by visually comparing historical high-resolution sidescan sonar imagery (SSI) with newly collected SSI in an attempt to identify newly placed objects. The objective of MIW change detection is to match objects detected in new SSI with historical objects stored in a database. Any newly detected objects not successfully matched are flagged for investigation. ... |

|
| An accurate estimation of seafloor roughness derived from sidescan imagery (SSI) is one of the components needed to determine bottom type of a geographic area for mine warfare. Analysts at the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) historically have estimated roughness manually. This paper describes the development and testing of a prototype algorithm capable of deriving roughness from SSI. It also presents results from a feasibility study that showed that the algorithm ... |

|
| The Naval Research Laboratory is developing an Automatic Change Detection and Classification (ACDC) system for the Naval Oceanographic Office to use with sidescan sonar imagery (SSI). The ACDC system will automatically detect seafloor features in SSI; classify, catalog, and cluster the features; and compare them with features previously detected (and stored in historical databases), to determine whether each newly detected feature has simply moved, relative to a previously plotted position, ... |

|
| Parallel programming techniques have been used for years to develop processing software that does the same work in only a fraction of the time. The research in this paper focuses on the I/O problem associated with a parallel application writing to a single physical disk. Included in our research are the original ideas that led to the first version of the parallel software, subsequent versions of the software derived from ... |

| The research in this paper focuses on the I/O problem associated with a parallel application writing to a single physical disk. Included in our research are the original ideas that led to the first version of the parallel software, subsequent versions of the software derived from lessons learned from benchmark results, and speedup results of each version. The underlying purpose of this software is to process hydrographic data having a ... |

|
| The Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Code 7440 Production Enhancement Team at the Stennis Space Center has been tasked to develop ways to speedup hydrographic data processing at the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) [Depn02]. This paper presents the final development of a parallelized version of the Pfm_loader application customized to run on a Beowulf cluster. |
