Real time Hi-res Images for Google Earth
Frank Taylor (Google Earth blog) place very nice information about new technology of data mining.
For this and near technologies we make program Superoverlay

Watch Remote Control Plane with Camera Capturing Real-time Images for Google Earth
I add to post full text of comment by David Riallant

From PictEarth staff
Hello we have been working on PictEarth for more than a year now.
First of all to answer technical questions : there is one video camera (low res) with images streamed down real time to the ground. This is what we use for live update. But a digital camera shoots 7 - 9 megapix images at the same time. In post process we get images from the camera. With these images we can go as low as 3 cm resolution.
Second point : we get a very good mosaic but for fine results images can be post processed. This has been our job for the past 5 years so we know what we are doing...
We can provide the full packaged solution : from the UAVs to the video goggles, software, fine correction services... to meet your exact needs.
We have worked so far on many applications : agriculture, archeology, indistrial areas, road surveillance...
If you have to fly bigger areas, we also offer a regular plane platform but often projects fit into the UAVs possibilities.
It is true that satellites do incredible job with very fine res, on big areas. But our idea is : how worth is the information if it is not fresh, if you do not control the source? Do you buy last month's news paper? How do you do if you need a regular update on a specific high value area? Do you buy a full Ikonos every week? This is where we stand : provide high temporal and spatial resolution on specific areas of interest.
All your critics, suggestions and projects are welcome.

I see in this publications good sign. GIS it is not software, geodatabases and projects only.
GIS it is engine for next ideas and technologies.

Watch Remote Control Plane with Camera Capturing Real-time Images for Google Earth
Check out this really cool video showing a guy launching a small unmanned remote control aerial vehicle with a digital camera used to capture images and then show the images in Google Earth.
Video 1The company Pict'Earth, has released these videos on their web site. The guy can view the images in real-time with VR goggles. Later, the images can be shown in Google Earth. This has got to be one of the cooler things I've seen done with Google Earth! And, there are some real practical uses of this technology. Google should take note. This technology could be a much less expensive way to acquire very-high-res data for certain situations - particularly for special events.

Superoverlay 1.5.2 & KMLer
New version of Superoverlay.
New features:
FTP connections... (F6)
Open list of FTP connections. You can add user and password by connection. By image operations Superoverlay automatically check connection and parameters from list. Users and passwords can see from Superoverlay only.
Recent projects
List of recent projects.
New version of KMLer.
Fixed bug with geoprocessing.

Ground overlay GE&GMaps solution.
We can use one images dataset for groundoverlays in GE and GMaps.
Example:
I use WGS-84 projection. For work need embed image into KMZ file.
You can open one MODIS Terra image in GE and GMaps:
Open KMZ file in GE
Open KMZ file in GMaps
We see right result.
Structure KML+ relative path to image see best. For one image we can connect from many clients (GIS and image viewers). This construction now supported by GE (see example of KML and image) and not supported by GMaps. GMaps support absolute path only. Maybe next version of GMaps can use KML+image construction with relative path.
GMail+Calendar
GMail also support Calendar functions.
You can:
1. Press "Add event info" in top right angle of GMail box
2. Insert link to KML or KMZ file in field "Where"
3. Add time of event and other information.
4. Send this "geo event" to friends.
Your friends can add this event into Calendar, open KML in GE or GMaps.
Enjoy!
PS Also see test Calendar with "geo events" in Googlepages
