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.

Hands down, one of the coolest things I've seen on MetaFilter. Thanks very much.

Now they just need a lidar, and GIS on the back end, and they could really do some heavy shit. *gears turning*

lidar isn't going to help much. These are mostly discolorations, odd groupings or differences in *plant* height, not terrain.

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.

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".
This is too cool.

Mais où se trouve le menhir d'Obelix?
Les menhirs se trouvent a l'ouest du pays.
Et oui, c'est un site cool.
