What you're talking about was being done a decade ago in the skies over Iraq.

I don't know jack about the algorithms because classified and not my job, but I can tell you that however good you think it was, it was better. I don't know if it's real or just marketing BS but what we said publicly was that differences in antennas, mirrors and trim were key in re-identifying vehicles after they leave the observable area (e.g. two silver Camry's go into a garage, come back out, how do you keep track which is which).



Interesting, thanks! That page doesn't say anything that even suggests that.


Well it's also been a decade. I'm surprised they still have a web page for it.

I was able to find some more old info online.
