Background subtraction with satellite images

[EricPedley]

Very experimental idea:

Since we know what the runway is supposed to look like, do a reverse image search or something to figure out what part of the runway we're above, and match it onto the camera image, adjust brightness/contrast/hue to fit as close as possible, then subtract to remove the background and leave only the shapes.

IDK if this'll work but it'll be fun to try.

find satellite image
generate field image with targets
subtract the two (fg, bg)

bg image is at uavf_2024\tests\imaging\imaging_data\image_lookup\image0.png
fg is at targets
