Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems

Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems

Jon C. Leachtenauer; Ronald G. Driggers

Artech House Publishers
2001
sidottu
An up-to-date, comprehensive review of surveillance and reconnaissance (S&R) imaging system modelling and performance prediction. This resource helps the reader predict the information potential of new surveillance system designs, compare and select from alternative measures of information extraction, relate the performance of tactical acquisition sensors and surveillance sensors, and understand the relative importance of each element of the image chain on S&R system performance. It provides system descriptions and characteristics, S&R modelling history, and performance modelling details. With an emphasis on validated prediction of human observer performance, this book addresses the specific design and analysis techniques used with today's S&R imaging systems. It offers in-depth discussions on everything from the conceptual performance prediction model, linear shift invariant systems, and measurement variables used for S&R information extraction to predictor variables, target and environmental considerations, CRT and flat panel display selection, and models for image processing. Conversion methods between alternative modelling approaches are examined to help the reader perform system comparisons.

Summers at the Lake

Summers at the Lake

Jon C Stott

Modern History Press
2022
pokkari
Paddling a canoe into sunrise on the longest day of the year... watching a child take her first kayak ride with her father... gazing at a bald eagle, riding air currents high above the lake... chuckling as a hummingbird defends his feeder against intruders... dodging campfire smoke while burning marshmallows and telling scary stories to wide-eyed kids. These are some of the moments and memories depicted in Summers at the Lake. The essays-often humorous; sometimes tinged with a sweet melancholy--celebrate the people and events marking the progress of the seasons--from the budding of the first green leaves of May to their falling, gold and scarlet, in September. These prose poems capture the joy of simple, lake-side living and quiet reflection.""Jon Stott is a masterful storyteller. In Summers at the Lake, he shares memories that read like prose poetry. Each story takes us to a place of solitude and beauty and will stir pleasant memories of our own." --Sharon Kennedy, author of The Sideroad Kids: Tales from Chippewa County"This gentle book by a gentle man is the kind that grows on you. Reading it will give you the same benefits as meditating in lovely surroundings in peace and calmness." --Bob Rich, author of From Depression to Contentment "In Summers at the Lake, much can be learned about life in the U.P. and its enjoyable places. You can explore the wonders of the U.P. while dipping your toes into the everyday experiences of life near Crooked Lake." --Sharon Brunner, U.P. Book Review"Jon C. Stott delightfully describes the many joys of lakeside living with the unchanging activities of summer. Deb Le Blanc's photos will make readers feel as if they are right there at the cabin, next to the author." --Carolyn Wilhelm, MA, Midwest Book ReviewFrom Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

In the first section, it offers you a new way of looking at life and existence. It then describes the basis of a free society, its value, purpose and why ours should be saved. It next gives you the logical tools to enable you to understand reality and life on an accurate, deeper level.The second section shows you the basis for this new view of reality in a far more detailed way. It answers many supposedly unanswerable questions about such subjects as Life and Existence, Mind and Free will, Knowledge and Truth, Values and Morality, God, Life and Death and includes many of the Personal, Loaded and Trick questions about life you may have encountered.The third section is a synopsis of what this means to your life and some personal helpful hints the author hopes will help you succeed. It also contains two appendixes, one for those who wish to delve deeper and two, a comparison to the major existing schools of thought being taught in Universities today.This is unlike any other book.

Readers will have their hearts pricked and their eyes opened to the human suffering that is often hidden in plain sight, while being brushed over by modern media.

Hockey Night in Dixie

Hockey Night in Dixie

Jon C. Stott

Heritage House Publishing Co Ltd
2006

During the 1980s, the geography of minor-league professional hockey changed radically, moving from its roots in the Maritime provinces and in the New England and Midwestern states into the American south. In addition to cities like Oklahoma City, Dallas, Charlotte and Norfolk, which had long traditions of minor-league hockey, unlikely places such as Biloxi, Baton Rouge, Little Rock and Augusta hosted teams. Over an 18-year period, minor-league hockey was played in 72 different southern cities, and at one point there were more minor-league teams in Texas than in all of Canada. Yet the players - and owners - have always been predominantly Canadian."Hockey Night in Dixie" examines this phenomenon with a historical overview of the period, including interviews with people involved in the founding and early years of each of the 13 leagues. There are also in-depth portraits of four teams, one from each of the four lower minor leagues that played during the 2005-06 season. These portraits feature interviews with owners, coaches, players, officials, fans and reporters.Amply illustrated with photographs, "Hockey Night in Dixie" paints a vivid picture of this extraordinary development in minor-league sports.

Ice Warriors tells the story of the Western Hockey League (known as the Pacific Coast Hockey League before 1952), a determined, ambitious league that at its height aspired to establish itself as a second major league, a western counterpart to the eastern NHL. Between 1948 and 1974, more than 2,500 minor-league professional hockey players skated for the 23 teams that made up the Western Hockey League. A small percentage of these players went on to enjoy substantial careers in the National Hockey League; others were former NHLers who chose to end their pro careers in the minors. Most of them, however, were minor-league "lifers" who played many seasons in the WHL and other minor pro leagues. This book traces the league's origins, rise and fall. The author analyses off-ice influences on the WHL's development and portrays the on-ice highlights of each season, including interviews with players, coaches and fans, and statistical records and pictures from the era. The league's aspirations ended with the expansion of the NHL, and after the 1973-74 season the WHL ceased operations.In its 26-year-run, however, it provided winter sports entertainment for countless appreciative hockey fans west of the Mississippi.
