Probably, I could also imagine various applications that would turn into instant cash cows - the parking spot problem being one of the most obvious.
I wonder what the barrier is here, as the data very likely exists. The usual terrorist fears? Privacy?
Or is satellite coverage still an "wait a day to get updated image"-affair?
- InclinedPlane 16y agoThe data likely doesn't exist. The Earth is big, there are only a few Earth imagery satellites, they have a narrow field of view for the highest resolution imagery, so they must pick and choose their targets. And, of course, satellite imagery is constrained by local cloud cover.
