Signal to Noise Ratio

One of the most interesting items to me in the Search for Steve Fossett are all of the internet contributors. They are posting coordinates everywhere they can. I am not sure how many are bothering to sign up to Mturk and go through the process.

I think Mturk as a process is very valid but that satellite imagery has limitations. Another major limitation is the amount of noise generated by over eager participants posting every rock they see as a crashed airplane.

Anyway the Main Mturker has been posting a good summary of the scenes that have been examined .
