GPC F COMPREHENSIVE EXAM UPDATED QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔Tone - ✔✔A measure of the amount of light reflected by an object.
✔✔Texture - ✔✔The frequency of tonal changes across the image of a feature.
✔✔Shadow - ✔✔Reveals information about the about the shape, size, and construction
of features.
✔✔Shape - ✔✔Limits identification to the class of features to which the unknown object
belongs.
✔✔Pattern - ✔✔Spatial arrangement of features in an area.
✔✔Association - ✔✔Examining the large area and features around a feature being
examined, their arrangement reflects the processes that placed them there and often
their function.
✔✔Location - ✔✔Regional aspect of associations. Appearance and occurrence of many
features will vary in different parts of the world.
✔✔Mensuration - ✔✔Geometric measurement of a feature or location from monoscopic
and stereoscopic imagery.
✔✔Photogrammetry - ✔✔Art, science, and technology of extracting information about of
objects, phenomena, and environment based on a mathematical sensor model.
✔✔Geodesy - ✔✔Science of mathematically determining the size, shape, and
orientation of Earth, and the nature of its gravity field in four dimensions.
✔✔Geophysics - ✔✔The physics of the Earth and its environment in space. Includes
the study of geodesy, geomagnetism, paleo magnetism, seismology, hydrology, space
physics, aeronomy, tectonophysics, and atmospheric science.
✔✔Mean - ✔✔Average value.
✔✔Median - ✔✔Observed middle value of a data set.
✔✔Midrange - ✔✔Calculated middle of a data set. Subtract lowest from highest then
divide by 2.
✔✔Mode - ✔✔Most prevalent value of a data set.
, ✔✔Accuracy - ✔✔Measures how close a database representation is to a true value.
✔✔Precision - ✔✔Refers to the consistency of a measurement method.
✔✔Tasking - ✔✔Process for identifying the best asset to answer the Essential Elements
of Information.
✔✔Processing - ✔✔First sending of data to a library. IDS-D sends NTM info to NIL for
long term storage.
✔✔EEIs - ✔✔Used to refine the specific information required.
✔✔IDS-D - ✔✔Sends NTM info directly to NIL for long term storage.
✔✔JWAC - ✔✔Maintains NSG Warfighter Imagery Library (NWIL) to increase NTM
support to warfighters.
✔✔DCGS - ✔✔Compiles multi-intelligence ISR tasking at the theater level.
✔✔UNIL - ✔✔Commercial imagery library.
✔✔TORS - ✔✔Used to task ONIR collection, exploitation, and production assets within
National and DOD environments.
✔✔Image Analysis Activities - ✔✔Detection, Identification, Evaluation, & Mensuration
✔✔ GEOINT operations - ✔✔Tasks, activities, and events to collect, manage, analyze,
generate, visualize, and provide imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial
information necessary to support national and defense missions and international
arrangements.
✔✔GEOINT - ✔✔The exploitation & analysis of imagery and geospatial information to
describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced
activities on the earth.
Consists of imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information. Any one or
combination of these three elements may be considered GEOINT.
✔✔ICD 203 - ✔✔Analytic Standards
Guides analysis and analytic production and states all IC analytic products shall be
consistent with the 5 Analytic Standards, including the 9 Analytic Tradecraft Standards.
