Hello Fellow GIS'ers Recently one of my coworkers asked me a question on which I could use some help. Do you know of any people, organizations, or active projects addressing development of moderately priced airborne video systems to track moving objects such as vehicles, persons, animals, etc.? Various law enforcement and security groups are interested in this kind of technology to supplant hot pursuit on the ground. The systems that are available now are very costly. Price is the reason for this inquiry. The airborne system of choice should be able to recognize and track moving objects, recovering them when they become momentarily obscured by intervening objects. It should be able to compute GPS coordinates of the target objects, and transmit this information to ground units. A major interest of my associate is accurate recognition of features via smart software that can keep a lock on an object as it changes direction, position, reflectance, etc. Also, I have no idea what might be ongoing in Europe in this arena. If such systems exist or are under development we would like to know. If there are any questions or issues that need clarification, please let me know. Thanks for any help you can give me.
