Abstract:

The document is a continuation of the research reported in AD-733 751. The conclusions drawn from the research are reiterated and amplified somewhat with comparisons of single channel and product imagery, both compared with color photography of an area at which ice wedge polygons are seen on imagery but not on the photography. Since this research is clearly incomplete, the remainder of the report is devoted to detailed recommendations for advanced research to determine the utility of the dual-channel I-R scanner as an Arctic engineering tool.
