On the off chance that there are transient mists crossing the objective, having video expands the odds of getting a reasonable view.
Examination specialists can likewise utilize the numerous edges in the arrangement to make 3D models of the ground, or to "stack" those casings, one over the other, to integrate a more settled picture, down to 60cm for Carbonite's situation.
