So I have a couple of questions. Firstly, apologies if these questions are out of place, I figured this could have equally been asked on a photography board, but it involves light and position and stuff like that, so I thought it would be okay.
Say for example we have two objects, object A and object B, we also have an observer who's standing in area C, some distance away from the objects. One object is slightly behind and away from the other and from the perspective of the observer in area C, the two edges of each object appear to touch. Would it be accurate to assume, that the alignment of the edges of these objects is only visible when the observer is standing in area C? Could we then, draw the alignment of these two objects in Google Earth with the line generator and predict the line of sight and even cross over the position of area C, where the observer was standing? On top of that, would there be any strange optical effects with cameras that might cause the illusion of standing in area C, even though they're in a different position?
I hope someone doesn't mind answering these questions, I know they're a little out of place (kind of). I'm just interested to know if you can accurately (to some degree) make predictions of position in Google Earth, based on objects and their estimated alignment around you. Thanks in advance...
