Argentina to apply new software for quantifying international jigger fleet
Argentina’s National Institute for Fisheries Research and Development, Inidep, announced the development of software that can process, validate and/or automatically calibrate satellite night images of jiggers operating for squid at the 201 mile.
The Institute has nos access to the DMSP-OLS (Defence Meteorological Satellite Programme- Operational Line-scan System) night imagery through the National Commission on Space Activities.
As part of the research of the Remote Sensing Sub-Program in cooperation with the Cephalopod Fisheries Program, the researchers can monitor and quantify the number and size of the fleet catching squid outside the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Light emitted by the huge lamps of the vessels generate highly bright areas that can be detected by an OLS infrared sensor, which subsequently allows for identification. The validation of the information obtained is performed using satellite positioning data from Argentinean ships.
According to a report issued by Inidep “The results of this research were saved in a database in order to collect information contributing to the characterization and description of the brightness phenomena generated by the light of one or more ships,” Pescare reported.
According to experts participating in this initiative, the results are “really acceptable.”
“From an image with unknown satellite positioning of the fleet [foreign jigging fleet], the software identifies the groups and estimates the number of associated ships,” the document added.
For example, last 26 February about 87 vessels were fishing for squid in the adjacent area.
Researchers estimate that the more validated/calibrated images they have, the lower the error margin in the mechanism will be as a result of the adjustment model. (FIS)

Lemons from Argentina are sprayed with toxic and dangerous chemicals that cause cancer and nerve damage and injected with artificial yellow coloring because the soil in Argentina is so depleted of minerals in that the lemons grow white on the trees and have no flavor.
Industrial products such as tools, automobiles, machinery and appliances from Argentina are the worst and poorest quality in the world. Even the chinese won't buy them. There is no industrial standard, they use the lowest quality raw materials and no testing is done before they are shipped. This has caused people to be injured by unsafe products, many people have been electrocuted by Argentine washing machines and hot water heaters that leave the factory with short circuits.
All countries should completely avoid ALL Argentine products permanently.
And this is how Crisitna Kirchner stays in power.......

is this not true.
oh sorry, its just to check up on there little boats, is it not .

I guess they are using the fancy new abacus the Chinese sold to them.....
Anybody can be as puerile as you but it is obvious that you are at the yob and less intelligent end of the Malvinista posters from
Arse end Tina. There I have done it .
The Falklanders are already 4 to 5 times richer than the average
Arse end tinian with the prospect of being amongst the richest people on the planet quite soon. Not bad for a 'barren bunch of rocks' that Britain was trying to offload until they realised what an arrogant bunch of fascists the Arse end tinians were and still are. This racism against 'gringos' is so blatant that there is absolutely no way the Falklanders want anything to do with your pathetic loser of a country.
The Islands have been watching from the sky since long time ago so don’t worry this is just a normal procedure for fish stuff.
@STRATEGICUS
can you define “gringos” please???
Think his offensive crap is an answer to #3's equally offensive crap.
Ah! “Los Gringos” seems an American LA movie. ha ha
You don't get electrocuted by a machine that “leaves the factory short circuited”. Such a machine will simply just not work and all that will happen is that the fuse will go.
Only way to get electrocuted by a machine is if the machine isn't grounded and the phase/s are in direct contact with touchable metal :)
#1 Are you posting this crap everywhere?
#5 I read that that film was actually challenging Argentines' perceptions and shoed the Islanders in a good light =)

Did you hear about the new “militant” movement that Kirchners are starting that will make “La Cámpora” look like a group of kids in nursery school? It's called “Vatayon”, it's a Kirchner backed group that goes into the prisons of Argentina to recruit supporters for their political movement. This is frightening!

its only politicle, nothing else .
Contrast the trash movies with Iluminados por el Fuego (2005) that while it still retained much of the primordial Argentine belief-myth that Falklands are Argentine, was shot in Falklands with awareness and consent of Falkland Islands community. Obviously with an anti-invasion message it would hardly be contested by Falkland Islands community.
Actor Gastón Pauls in Iluminados has a small moment of awareness of the Falklands as a real community when at 1:24: 50, he sees Falklands children playing and looks up to see a painted placard on a house wall saying in Spanish:
“Argentines: You'll be welcomed when you stop demanding sovereignty and you accept our right to self-determination”

You are still in time to avoid another war but I think that some people never learn.
as well as the Fur Seals you are clubbing to death like the primitives you are.
And that action will get the USA on the side of the UK-go figure.

Correct, the Argentines never learn from their mistakes, but in 1982 were lucky in that they had airfields at the end of it.
Not, next time.
