writes I started my reply in the expectation that it was possible, but soon had severe doubts so I just posted the neutral facts. And I've done a bit more work. The dimensions of a Large Rear plate are 533mm x 152mm http://www.number-plates-car-registrations.co.uk/number_plate_dimensions .html. So you've got about 8 pixels across a number plate in my example. Now I don't think it can be done, and I've put my work on my web site at http://www.merseia.fsnet.co.uk/index.html. Nice one. It agrees with what I thought intuitively you'd see at that kind of resolution. It's "No way, Jose!". Thanks. I'll just note that although Martin Brown was appropriately scornful when I mentioned interferometry I still wonder what the spooks are doing with it. The Future Imagery Architecture program has $25 billion to spend http://cartome.org/nro-fia.htm, and the NOSS system has been flying formations for years http://satobs.org/noss.html. Seems to me that the real question is "do they have a need for that resolution ?" If so, they are going to get it. If not, they will aim for other goals. |
