I wish that all those people on that flight were with us, and maybe they still are, as I like to think they are on an island somewhere waiting to us to find them ... however, it does not look good...
Recently, a spy plane searching for possible remnants of Malaysian Flight 370 took this photo:
However they cannot tell what this is an image of, floating in the sea.
I was wondering, what image processing techniques might us in the DSP community utilize here to better ascertain / clean up the image so that we might be able to get a better picture?
The waves of the ocean would seem to contribute to high-frequency components, so perhaps nulling the high frequency fourier co-efficients in the 2D-FFT, and then inverse transforming?
What other techniques might we use? ... perhaps we can segment it while respecting shapes of big features?...
