Google Earth catches Avian Flu

Declan Butler is a journalist, writes a lot for Nature magazine, with a particular interest in disasters and a particular particular interest in GoogleEarth. Most recently, he’s posted a great piece on building maps in GoogleEarth for tracking Avian Flu – you can read it here.

  1. Hi All Experts,
    Does anyone use google earth images as ground image planes for use in aerial scenes. I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together…

  2. I have literally no idea. You might want to check in with Kathryn Cramer, who’s done some mighty impressive work in this area relating to disaster response.
