Ahhh - throw it way up in the air and pictures on the way down
I've been trying to find a way to simulate MOC/HiRISE push-broom imaging using video footage from a radio control plane...no luck yet though - somewhere there must be a sourceforge project Doug |

Ahhh - throw it way up in the air and pictures on the way down I've been trying to find a way to simulate MOC/HiRISE push-broom imaging using video footage from a radio control plane...no luck yet though - somewhere there must be a sourceforge project Doug It was video footage, the first 15sec, aproximately, are from 'lift-off' and ascension, but the 'aperatus' was still too bouncy and fast so I've cropped some images to have a better sence of the 'flight', but I'm already building the next version, reducing weight, with more stability and longer video capacity, capable of reaching higher grounds and take a bit more of time to descend...It's fun!!! It's geek power!!! EDITED: No images from the 'thing' but I can take some when I arrive home, it deserves it...It's the first of a future glorious generation... My idea is not capture images from above, it goes beyond that...The idea is to develop it to the point it can reach the ground and...rove!!! -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
