Imagery: Capabilities in the Surveillance Context
September 1, 2019
DarkCyber spotted a video about US satellite imagery resolution. You can view the program on YouTube at this link. Several observations:
- Quality of imagery is improving
- The facial recognition and entity recognition systems will generate higher probability outputs due to improved image quality
- Surveillance systems are advancing in two dimensions: Resolution is going up and costs are coming down.
Implications? DarkCyber will leave speculation to you, gentle reader.
