OpenStreetMap data really is a godsend for such OSINT purposes. Works much better in populated areas too, with more features like roads, shops, electric lines that can be used to search.
What about tides? Would the outline of the island be different based on the time of day.

If you know the camera make and model, you might be able to get lens parameters and get better estimates of real world geometry from the image
yea thank u, that's another part, but mainly it would hard although knowing that, because you need to know elevation of the drone or the camera, which is also extremely difficult (I already mentioned that in the blog)

I meant the blog itself, the writeup, the steps and the walkthrough all by hand , the final code u see is llm refined, of course, I wont publish my messy and spaghetti files with much tests, failures and dead ends, also vizualizations functions to produce that green maps , and faulty versions of them but you are right, I should add that
Just by reading your actual messages it's easy to see that you didn't write the blog post entirely by hand.
Excellent write up and an enjoyable read! Reminds me of the “good old times” where posts on HN were written by humans and with a specific writing style like yours. You could’ve used a little bit more of geoguessing to narrow down results, or do a brute force visual check on the last hundred or so ;-)
