RE: Cool things we do with Satellites #5 : Counting Penguins in Antarctica!
Wow, fascinating. I never thought about locating animals by observing their poop from space. Ha!

Well, who would have? :P
It's mind blowing how much image data we are now collecting globally. It's difficult to imagine how many different use-cases there can be. Expect to be surprised again!
For tomorrow I will prepare something seriously scientific and seriously fun about this topic (yes, penguin poop). Thanks for the idea. I used to play with multispectral images, FTIR and fluorescence mainly, it's incredible what can be done once we obtain the image with several different sensors.
sounds interesting! I'll be sure to check that out.
And yes, you really get to understand how limited our eyesight is and how much more there is to the world than what we can see. Having a global overview also in multispectral images provides the opportunity to see changes that we would otherwise fail to notice.
