Retrieval of ISR data for image interpretation exercises

Image interpretation (e.g. for image-based radar, infrared, electro-optical) is a complex task in context of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). To support and enhance education and training of image interpreters operation-related reconnaissance data is advantageous and important. In this paper a concept of a semi-automatic generation of image interpretation exercises is presented by using data based on NATO standardization agreements (STANAG). The novel approach thereby is to utilize these different mission-requirements-based data formats effectively within the context of technology-enhanced learning by creating web-based exercises for online usage and presentation slides for classroom lessons.
