Is it even legal for a page at "culture.gouv.fr" to be in English? posted by DU at 10:13 AM on August 17, 2007
(Not that I'm complaining. This is awesome.) posted by DU at 10:14 AM on August 17, 2007
I'm enamored of the subject matter -- less so of the mystery meat navigation. I think I'd prefer this sort of stuff in an actual book, but it's a great concept. posted by Devils Rancher at 10:18 AM on August 17, 2007
Hands down, one of the coolest things I've seen on MetaFilter. Thanks very much. posted by felix betachat at 10:18 AM on August 17, 2007

Sans blague, c'est cool de chez cool, ça. posted by everichon at 10:41 AM on August 17, 2007
Now they just need a lidar, and GIS on the back end, and they could really do some heavy shit. *gears turning* posted by everichon at 11:04 AM on August 17, 2007
lidar isn't going to help much. These are mostly discolorations, odd groupings or differences in *plant* height, not terrain. posted by DU at 11:21 AM on August 17, 2007
Ok, a hyperspectral sensor then. Setting aside the insane cost of orthorectifying the photos, flying a sensor, and mapping it all, I bet it would pay off by revealing stuff you can't see by visual inspection. posted by everichon at 11:37 AM on August 17, 2007
Oh I so totally love stuff like this, and thank for the other links too! posted by Belle O'Cosity at 12:43 PM on August 17, 2007
Thanks a lot anastasiav! I've spent the entire afternoon scanning with google earth. A slow and low flight between Naples and Rome revealed lots of "maybes".
