Travis,
Have you, or whoever brainstormed this one, considered whether or not the
real-world results of all that complicated technology, adjustment formulaes,
error corrections and assumptions might not be any better than an
old-fashioned SWAG ? I am trying to comprehend the "critical" need that
would be the catalyst for such a fairly involved endeavor, one that no doubt
has lots of steps involved, and of course each successive step introduce
errors into the final results. This result, for even a single animal
"location" would have to be qualified beyond belief, let alone a
time-series, and complex matrix of a forest full of these animals. Better
do this before mating season......
BTW - Don't believe anything current exists to solve the problem..
