Brought Everyone Up to Speed on What I Just Did

New page

I just loaded it up in [[Google Earth Pro]] and ''accidentally hyperfocused and labeled various interesting sites along with that one with the trees in the middle of the field, then tried to find roads, then...''

[[How to Determine if Something is a Road or a River from Remote Sensing Data]] is surprisingly difficult (at least with just Optical; no [[Topography Data]] /[[Multispectral Imaging]] / [[Synthetic Aperture Radar]]

A lot of the lines seem to be [[Irrigation Ditches]] , that or [[Swales]]

I also was able to document some [[Deforestation]] / [[Land Clearing]] so cross comparing with [[Restor]] (or that other Remote Sensing based deforestation tracker thing, i
forget it's name) would be neat.

I think the 2013 Snapshot and the 2017 Snapshot could even show [[Tire Tracks]] (from either [[ATVs]] on a light path or [[Tractors]] + [[Pickup Trucks]] on heavier paths i can't tell which. I think those were " [[Airbus CNES]] " and the lower resolution images were by " [[Maxar Technologies]] ". [[Landsat]] and [[Copernicus (Satellite) ]] provided the older lower resolution data and/or covered areas not covered by the later satellites. I want to look up what is [[The Highest Electro-Optical Satellite Resolution]] as of now (Seems ~30cm per pixel for civillian, ~10cm per pixel for USA Spy Satellites! Essentially enough to see individual vehicles, and sort of people) granted it gets way more complex than a number due to angle and time it is within view and total area per scan etc

I have some screenshots and the [[Google Earth Pro]] file, i can upload the png's i don't know about the "My Places" folder file as that may be some funky format. I'll need to dump files later though; it's late!
