7. July 23rd, 2008 11:45 am There was also online a large search made from satellite imagery. It was provided through Amazon online, in small sections to search by volunteer, the previous imagery vs. the post event imagery. I looked at about 12,000 I recall. What might be needed is an on-demand hyper-spectral imagery to overlay the base data, then spectral characteristics of the plane might be searchable by computer first narrowing the search. Ironically, that imagery might be provided by Virgin someday from their fledgling near orbit spacecraft or others currently being built. Hyper-spectral imagery is superior in classifying images that the eye might not see, signatures if you will, of paint color, CSI like, perhaps.
