Sounds like the Chinese are proving the Flat Earth community is right after all (and that God created the Earth and the universe as well).

you are always being watched.
I spent some time in Taiwan, Not Mainland.
The locals claimed that after dark one of every three people you passed, was a government informant.
Walked and took cabs everywhere, never a hint of a problem.
I always carried a card with my address in English and Chinese, in case I became lost, the people were very nice.
Souhnds like it's using a solid-state laser in the short-wave infrared, in the "gap" between visible and thermal radiation.
The Harbor Freight version will be good for half that distance for a couple of uses.
Electric Eye - Judas Priest
Up here in space
I’m looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you’ve private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I’m watching all the time
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye
Always in focus
You can’t feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don’t know I’m there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
Theres nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye
Range gate cameras have been around for 30yrs+/-.
Sounds like it’s using...
If you were the China Inc. Propaganda Minister, how would want to present your new(?) camera?
Play it down to conceal your abilities?
Build it up?
???
That which is described in the article is technologically plausible, does not violate the laws of physics, and is not terribly dissimilar to a laser altimeter.
Thank you, that is just what I was needing, my first thought was curvature of the earth, Dad had said we can only see about 25 miles at best.
The refraction from the Earth’s atmosphere lets you see stars 2 degrees below the horizon. I don’t know how that would translate for an object on the surface.

This camera won’t work in the US. We don’t have kilometers here.
Hah! I knew the metric system was evil.

down and dirty is Sqrt 3/2H
Great point.
I completely forgot about the curvature of the Earth.
And thanks for the math class!
I tried to find these U2 camera/lens specs before I posted on what the number for the curve would be on supposed ball earth... so thanks for posting!
It’s like we have to reinvent the wheel because scientism is such dumbed-down NASA Islam lovin’ climate change lovin’ nonsense.
;)
I don't like nation-states who hate the U.S. to have technology that works according to Biblical science, while we are all brainwashed by climate change loving NASA’s “scientism”...
The curvature for ball-earthers, as you can see, is extremely steep. At one mile it’s six feet, which means you would not be able to see anyone with a big focus camera at one mile, they would be underneath the curve.
It’s also extremely Biblical as all the numbers for the curvature and spin on ball earth are weirdly either 666 or some derivative.
The loose masks DO work from spreading ones one germs. I was wondering if that was the reason - that is not only a nice gesture, but an effective one! But all sorts of folks wear them when it gets smoky which doesn’t help much.
Heh - bringing this back onto the topic - with this new camera, ANY mask might be the prudent thing to start wearing!
There are high-res photos of the outdoors that are pretty amazing. One of Mount Everest, one of Half-Dome in California. The one at half-dome shows most of the valley, with half-dome on the other side - maybe a mile away - takes up maybe 10% of the photo.
But then you can zoom in anywhere on the photo and can see people’s faces that are hiking or standing on half-dome! It is pretty amazing.
