Hi John, yep, that was my understanding on the overview.. The next step is to analyze the overview and create tasks that will pick out the population areas for detailed mapping.
The cloud cover, unfortunately is there to stay unless DG get additional imagery .. and make it available. If we are ready, I will create some new tasks for more detailed mapping, is there any preferred area to start? (ie: are there people on the ground that we can leverage??) I am not too worried about the validation as that will be more appropriate when the detailed tasks are done Let me know ..
