Re: New 3-D Aerial Images of Haiti Will Aid Recovery
That is really quite interesting. I wonder how they are using the data for analysis.
I mean, are they just visually inspecting the scans on a computer screen or are they are actually using some kind of software tool to do the anlysis.
Thanks for the post.

Re: New 3-D Aerial Images of Haiti Will Aid Recovery
I was thinking the same Eugene - it's all very well collecting all this data but Haiti is HUGE. I do like the fact that the data has been processed as quickly as the article states - it just goes to show how new technologies are helping on the ground and in the air during these types of natural disasters.3DForensics wrote:That is really quite interesting.

Also interesting to note that Google and MS both jumped on the bandwagon, stating they wanted to integrate it into their web-offerings; only time will tell.
Interestingly, I've seen no talk of the MDL (?) pole-scanner being used for searches on collapsed buildings...
