Marmota

People keep asking us ‘Where did you get the idea of Marmota from?’. The answer is here…..

From our office window, we can see a couple of peaks poking through a gap in the mountains (only on a good day). We asked around and nobody could tell us what they were called. We consulted maps and Google Earth, but could not find the answer. From this curiosity, Michele and myself came up with the Marmota concept; rendering the World around us and then matching the real and artificial World using computer vision algorithms.

Once this alignment was achieved, all pixels in our photos had a latitude, longitude and altitude. Thus we finally had the tools to answer our question !!

Alas, the mystery was solved and our mountainous office view became less special

Only joking

The yellow GPS track you can see in the photo was the footpath taken by Michele last weekend to get the shot seen in a previous post and today’s image was taken from my office window just after lunch
