Google Earth Can Become A Strong Medium To Detect Black Constructions!

25th August 2010

Google earth was devised as a source of information and guidance for the tourists, who wanted to roam around the world and faced the problems finding particular locations in a city. Through the satellite images taken through Google Earth, its easy to map out a specific place and reach their following the exact path. The benefits of this tool are obviously great and we cannot deny the fact that its the best tool ever that can be used to collect information as well to move around. But everybody was unaware of the strength of this innovative tool that have just come into focus and that is crime detection.

Tech News reports that the US authorities have used the satellite images taken through Google Earth as a source to check the black buildings or the ones that were illegally developed without permit. The report showed that in only one small town known as River head, there were 250 such constructions that were illegal or in other words black construction. Obviously, we can look for such more cases not only in US but in other countries who would be making use of this idea to check the black construction at different locations. We can expect for some more enhancements in the features of Google Earth that would make the crime detection more simple and reliable.
