The document discusses creating holographic photomaps from satellite images. It begins with an introduction to the NATO Response Force (NRF) and NRF 2012, where the NDC-GR HQ is located. It then provides an introduction to holography and the process for organizing geospatial data to create a holographic map. This involves acquiring DEM and satellite imagery data, co-registering and importing it into 3D software, generating terrain, overlaying image and additional data layers, setting up a virtual camera, rendering views, and inputting the views into a digital holographic printer to create the final hologram. An example area along the Evros River is used. Potential next

3. NATO Response Force
(NRF)
A highly ready and technologically advanced multinational force made up of
 land,
 air,
 maritime
 and special forces components
that the Alliance can deploy quickly to wherever it is needed.
It is comprised of three parts:
 a command and control element from the NATO Command Structure;
 the Immediate Response Force,
 a joint force of about 13 000 high-readiness troops provided by Allies;
 and a Response Forces Pool, which can supplement the Immediate Response Force
when necessary.
Any mission, anywhere
for example:
 contributing to the preservation of teritorial integrity,
 making a demonstration of force,
 peace support operations,
 disaster relief,
 protection of critical infrastructure,
 security operations and,
 as part of a larger force, conducting initial entry operations

8. HOLOGRAPHY
 is a technique by which the image of a three dimensional
object is recorded on film so that upon reconstruction, or
playback, the constructed image of the object is three
dimensional.
 “HOLOGRAM” comes from the Greek words:
“holos” = "whole," + “gram” = "writing“
 Each portion of the hologram stores an encoded message
about the whole object

10. HOLOGRAPHIC MAP
The Workflow
 1. Acquire DEM data and Satellite image of an area (Same pixel
size or resampling to the same pix size)
 2. Co-register them with accuracy LTH 1 pixel!
 3. Import DEM and Satellite image into a 3D editor ( 3dsMax,
Maya etc.).
 4. Create a 3d terrain using the DEM data in the 3d editor.
 5. Overlay the satellite image on top of the 3d terrain
 6. Overlay in various layers other important data
(These layers are stacked vertically on different heights relative to
the mapped area).
 7. Create a virtual camera and set correct properties.
 8. Animate the camera relative to the 3d scene and set number
perspective views to render.
 9. Render the views
 10. Input the perspective views of step 9 to the digital
holographic printer.
 11. Print the final hologram.
