I worked on a project like this for Churchill Navigation using their ARS Augmented Reality GIS display: http://churchillnavigation.com/ We hunted for artificial concealed hotspots using a FLIR infrared gimbal system in Alberta last summer with good success. ARS is more aimed at law enforcement type usage, and I don't think they're pursuing the wildfire mapping angle. I can answer any questions you might have. > -Mark Zaller - TriGeo <http://www.trigeocorp.com/> - (408) 623-4303 -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson, omo sanza lettere. xe...@alphapixel.com http://www.alphapixel.com/ Digital Imaging.
