It's not a matter of colour! The problem is that in the distance the tether is just few pixel big in the image and you can't really find it with your eye!
if you paint the tether red it might show up a bit better on the red channel of the image against the blue sky. Also maybe dip it into a fosforescent compound and try flying it at night maybe? Good luck:)
I wonder how they verified the result. Sure looking at colour intensities of the pixels and choosing the most intense pixel for each horizontal line within the right angular range will give a pathway, but how do you know it is the right one?
well.. hope for lesser yebbering and more time explaining.... i still don't know why they find tether and how.... well how is later on explained.. but why one second interval? why not shorter or longer?? huh..
you would need at least one camera. and instead of preparing the tether in a complicated way, she just did this awesome programming work.

Does the program work on other items beside teethers
what about...
... thermal imaging
... glowing tether
... radio isotope tagged tether
... mirror glitter coated tether
it's definitely matlab. i've done similar things
Python?
Couldn't she have dyed the tether in some highly visible color?

fuck this shit we want graphene :D
