I'm not sure about which post your question is referring to but if it's the DC Image, the data that we're receiving now is changing almost daily because of equipment updates. Now, more than the photoimaging, for lack of a better word, equipment, image processing is changing at a pace you would find hard to believe. The same photograph from a year ago can be digitally enhanced instead of comparing a scanned analog flat photo, some 3D is being used. A lot of the technology from radar enhancement has been incorporated into surveillance and that's about as far as I can take this because of some of the projects my company is working on.
