Groundbreaking Satellite Spying Technology

‘SAME’ enables users to see any place on the planet in real time

York University Prof. Vincent Tao has developed groundbreaking satellite mapping technology that enables users to visually zoom in on – or fly over – any place on the planet in real time. Called SAME (an acronym for ‘See Anywhere – Map Everywhere’), it is an Internet-based technology that provides 3-D imagery with ground resolution of a half-metre to one metre – close enough to identify automobile makes, for example, but not the human face.
