Stabilized Cameras for Long-Distance Surveillance

Posted by michael on from the eye-in-the-sky dept.

DrBlake writes "New York Times has an article about new systems used to stabilize cameras hung from aircraft. Apparently they make it possible to see many details at 500 meters or higher. The systems are interesting in themselves and the article raises interesting concerns about what implications the systems have on privacy."
