The training of our remote sensing system reached an important milestone with the observation of the wreckage of Douglas C-47B-35-DK (DC-3) I-TAVI (serial 33225/16477), Aerolinee Itavia Flight 703, which crashed in Sora in 1963. Google Maps
Remote sensing of the wreckage under the canopy is made possible thanks to the latest developments in our Machine Learning algorithm and our calibration and signal processing tools.
The accessibility and stability of the I-TAVI wreckage allows us to collect ground truth data that validates the remote sensing.

Above: Since 1963, the Monte Serra Alta forest has completely covered the wreckage, invisible at optical frequencies (41.76074973, 13.56371247).
