Hello all,
The region of Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg is well mapped in OSM. If we have the still images of high quality and know the places, can we restore the trajectory with photogrammetric software?
I asked local OSM members of Chelyabinsk, they know the place very well and can tell the exact locations.

I do not plan, nor have/know the software, but if anyone wishes to work on this, ask us and repost this. I guess, the distances are so big that it will take more than a flat plotting over a plane, it will require a good geoid and elevation data. If anyone has scientific interest for this, they may ask for details here (I subscribe and will help translating) or in Chelyabinsk thread.
P.S. for those who claim Russians have no emotions: http://youtu.be/21vFlL82V9k
