They are going to do something about this building. This Navy building will be camouflaged for $600,000. Landscaping, rock structures and solar panels should help disguise its shape.

now look at what they did in China
they made a huge 1:500 model landscape:

and it is a model of a 500 km big area of the chinese-indian border:

same thing but with only three walls, same town, 5 km away, very strangeandrol wrote:http://maps.google.de/maps?ll=48.712605 ... 3&t=k&z=20
these are four 4m high walls that form a square. There are 15 cm wide gaps between each two walls, I saw some grass through these gaps, but without a camera, I couldn't see what's in the centre of the thing.

Errm, I don't think that the purpose of this measure was to hide the existence of the airbase, a simple search on Wikipedia explains quite clearly what is located there. The main point is rather to hide the "important" details.

Of course I figured that out. However, they just arrested a criminal in Germany by unscrambling a picture cencored in that manner. That pretty well proves it's possible doing that.helloggs wrote:Errm, I don't think that the purpose of this measure was to hide the existence of the airbase, a simple search on Wikipedia explains quite clearly what is located there.

Maybe otherwise the activists would be visible, who protested against the chop of the wood at the other side of the Dutch border for this German airfield.

I am not sure what "criminal arrested in Germany" you are referring to, if you're talking about the Canadian child abuser, that's a case a little different. If you look at the pictures, he just "swirled" the pixel information, i.e. all the pixels that picture ever contained are still there but have moved from their original position:
Still, it took the BKA's experts about three years to produce a proper image from the swirled pic. Contrary to all that, the censored part of the google map linked above clearly has lost pixel information.

that's right, you cannot unscrambe an image where the detailed information has been removed. That part of the map is now just in a less detailed resolution, just like other parts of the world where Google has no detailed maps.
Also, not Google did the censoring, they say they got already censored map data. In the eastern part of the airbase, the censored map is fading into an uncensored map where you see more details.
