When might we expect a link between AMDR & ESW?
23 June 2008, 19:08 UTCProbabilty Mapper README
A long-missing README file for the mothballed Probability Mapper, aka PM. Because someone asked.
UPDATED: 2nd link to Access97 runtime, Map & Cases menus.
9 June 2008, 18:10 UTCAutomated Image Segmentation
How to turn a USGS map or satellite photos into vector data? A couple of links, and some questions.
5 June 2008, 19:47 UTCESRI SAR Articles
Two papers on SAR & GIS from a February 2008 ESRI Conference.
8 May 2008, 1:56 UTCMore wireframes
Corrections and improvements for the previous wireframes. These have a 40-bin resolution, and fix some errors.
16 February 2008, 11:52 UTCSpreading probability around
A couple of 3D wireframe images comparing "raw" probability profiles to "pden" profiles.

I strongly recommend two excellent papers by Emrah SÖYLEMEZ on using GIS programs to construct probability maps for SAR.
2 November 2007, 2:59 UTCSAR Spotlight Forum
Courtesy of SARNews, I see that ERI has begun a "spotlight forum" for search & rescue articles. It now has one article, a short paper by their own Skip Stoffel on "Regions of Probability." I think his point is mainly that initial probability regions don't have to correspond to operational search segments.
Of course, once you start searching, regions and segments will start to line up.
22 September 2007, 0:25 UTCRe-Post: Comments on O'Connor
Back in 2004, I commented on a piece by Dan O'Connor. At the time, some people found it useful. Had I written it now, it would have been a blog post. So, here it is again.

Jim has begun an ISRID blog. Take a look at his entries on the Steve Fossett search.
I am also experimenting with Blogger. http://sarbayes.blogspot.com
Mechanical Turk: It occurs to me that with multiple-scans of the same image, we may be able to estimate a confusion matrix for the average Mechanical Turk "sensor", and given that we know how long people spend on an image, possibly something like a sweep width.
Now if only I could work on this in my day job.
