Back at the end of harvest season here in Kentucky, they conducted an interview with the regional commander for the appalachin erradication efforts and he said the following:
He said that currently all federal eradication efforts are based on visual identification of Mj. He stated that even though his teams had chopped over 1/2 million pot plants this year in the state, his job was very difficult. He said unlike the western states, Kentucky has rugged terrain and dense natural vegetation making it hard to visually identify Mj here. He said as a result of this, his team would be working with a company that had developed a computerized search sytem that would be tested the summer of 08. The sytem operates on grid photography. Now, instead of visually hunting for MJ, the crews will collect a number of grid photos to be taken back to base, and analysed by the computer system. The computer is programmed to isolate 10' x10' surface area's and then pixel by pixel, look for color variations. If the sytem performs has they hope, it will be installed in all federal eradication units by the end of 2009.
It will be tested here this summer, and is a terribly ominous development for everyone here. " The times they are a changin"
