Marcus-
Thanks! It looks like you ran this on photsynth on the published data?
I was working on a project to apply SIFT (the algorithm underlying
photosynth) to intell problems at LANL before I left... I don't know if
it went forward... I suspect not.
The pointcloud and overhead view are interesting from the perspective of
showing the "fused" results along with the multiple perspectives. If
you haven't, you should check this out on a PowerWall, Photosynth is
very impressive 10' tall and high resolution... the PowerWall I built in
D division has been upgraded I think...
We do have CPU/GPU cluster available for this kind of work... The one in
Los Alamos (LARP) is shut down but we have one in ABQ with 9 GPUs.
I've pinged Steve Suddarth to see if they need anything, I could try
David Cremer too.
And to Owen's question... I've introduced one of the "inventors" of
Angel Fire to SimTable, but don't think that has gone anywhere?

Hi,
Here are Photosynths for the raw data. There may be dense textured
3-D models (e.g. viewable with WebGL) in progress, but these were easy
to run, so I ran them. I imagine it is hard for the LANL experts on
this to do the fancy reconstructions because the lab is empty,
important computers are down, etc. (Kudos to the guys that got the
imagery collected and up on the web.)

This one has some interesting views, but it isn't fully integrated.
Step through these by hand (e.g. the play or play/stop button).

Laboratory-Developed Military Technology Put to Use for Las Conchas
Fire Evacuees
LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico July 1, 2011
Los Alamos National Laboratory and a New Mexico aerial technology
firm on Thursday deployed a cutting-edge surveillance system?normally
used to help U.S. conventional military forces in combat for a
peaceful purpose: helping Las Conchas fire evacuees see an up-to-date
view of their homes. A higher resolution version of the system, known
as Angel Fire, was developed by LANL and the Air Force Research
Laboratory for the Department of Defense. It's described as a
surveillance camera for a city-sized area, complete with instant
replay and the ability to zoom in to see, for example, someone
planting an improvised explosive device. But over Los Alamos, the
system is providing snapshots in time viewable over a Web site. "This
is like Google Earth, except it's a Google Earth image from today,"
said William Rees, LANL's principal associate director for Global
Security. "Our evacuees can access the image and see their homes, or
their favorite hiking areas, or the burned areas, on images just a
few hours old." "This is yet another example of a technology
developed for global security missions being used to help everyday
people in a very real way," said LANL Director Charles McMillan.
"When I learned we might be able to use it here, I said 'let's make
it happen.'"
The image will allow zooming no closer than a typical Google Earth
picture, but will nonetheless provide a bird's-eye view of tens of
square miles. Transparent Sky LLC, a small, New Mexico business, is
donating the equipment and time for these flights.To access the
images, users should go to http://www.lasconchas.lanl.gov/
Media should call 505-820-1226 for updates and monitor
