I suppose that part is possible and likely true.
But if the squirrel turns it's head and looks at the hunter out of the corner of it's eyes,
wouldn't the triangles have different ratios of sides and angles as it moves around the tree ?
Given the millions of faces and the limited number of pixels in a screen display,
this technology could be misused the same way "fiber analysis" and "tooth marks"
in flesh wounds have been in the past.
Computerized recognition might well be sufficient to point to
an individual from a relatively small group of
known arsonists.
But it makes for good PR for the FBI and TV programming.
