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."

      Sure I've got a mirror, but I don't see how looking at yourself is gonna help you getting in NYTimes....

    HELL is what the passengers of those ill-fated flights felt on September 11th.

    HELL is what the children in that bus felt in Israel

    HELL is what Daniel Pearl went through.

    To trivialise these deaths by saying we shouldn't prevent any more is SICKENING.

    Why do you hate America?
