H (HAZE), CS (CLOUD SHADOW), SD (SEMIDARKNESS), GC
(GROUND COVER), CF (CAMOUFLAGE), 0 (OBLIQUITY), AND
GR (GROUND RESOLUTION).
INTERPRETABILITY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS CATEGORIZED AS
G (GOOD), F (FAIR), OR P (POOR). THE EXTENT OF
TARGET COVERAGE IS DENOTED BY THE SYMBOLS T (TOTAL)
OR PT (PARTIAL). THE MODE OF COVERAGE IS SIGNIFIED
