Wow, very impressive, especially as I'm sure your tests have accommodated streetview.
It's terrific to have more than one solution to discuss...
I'll incorporate your results into my presentation (as I'm sure you have already done with Dr Miyakawa's</font><font
color="#000000"> results into yours) but I don't think I'll be able to speak as authoritatively as you clearly can - do you have a reference to a published paper to which I can refer the audience?
Many thanks.
