In order to estimate the impact location (in case when the recorders are destroyed) one can consider an INS equipped bathyscaphe starting from the position of the plane's remains and compensating on-line ocean currents when climbing up.
Such a procedure is - to some extent - a reverse of the Monte Carlo approach described by lomapaseo in http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/39510...ml#post6393355.

For the sake of precision: the information in color RAW files is real but not complete anyway due to the presence of the Bayer color filter preceding a sensor.
All images - when retrieved from a RAW data - need to be transformed by a so called demosaicing procedure (which is a kind of interpolation algorithm).
