[HOT] HOT Activation in Central African Republic

[Severin MENARD]

Hi,

Considering the crisis in Central African Republic, it is worth HOT starts
an Activation. As I went in Bangui as a technical and strategic support for
the EUROSHA volunteers and have been continuing monitoring this since, I
may be the right Hottie to lead this. Just posted a blog post summarising
the ongoing activities and tasks:

Sincerely,

Severin

Re: [HOT] Update on Kunduz mapping

[Frédéric Bonifas]

Hi,

A big thank you to all those that have been mapping last week, the
progresses are huge.

I share below a message from Yann Rebois, ICRC :
"
Hi there,
 following  the tasking manager, it is moving ahead ...

http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/199

We are supporting your volunteers morally and we are thanking them. please
share this encouragement to them!
Waiting the final results !

Many thanks

Re: [HOT] Mapa Inundaciones La Plata

[Fernando]

Heather,

Thanks, I was already aware of it, in fact, we use their KMLs at 
http://sos.openstreetmap.org.ar


I figure 4 main tasks
- Mapping the flood reach for reference in OSM
- Mapping alerts ( inundaciones2abril )
- Mapping La Plata infrastructure in OSM
- Providing OSM cartography to the entities that need it.

I did not contact the guys from inundaciones2abril, but I should, so an 
introduction would be nice.

I can help them to switch to OSM.

You can invite them to the local SotM (http://sotm.openstreetmap.org.ar) 
where Séverin will be talking about HOT. We can use the mapathon to work 
over La Plata (the SotM -April 27th- is free of charge, sadly the FOSS4G 
is not).


Thanks again to all,
Fernando.

It goes south to General Belgrano and north across the water into

I’ll add it to the JOSM, P2 and iD lists tomorrow.

Technical details:

I did this as JPEG tiles for speed reasons. I also made use of the
Terralook shapefiles for clipping, which wasn’t entirely
successful because there are some small black gaps.

Re: [HOT] Error with HOT exports

[Claire Halleux]

Thanks Stéphane for the video.

You won ;-) You managed to persuade me that it's really needed to organize
a new short training session for people in the surroundings. So they can
become more comortable using Qgis and OSM plugin. I'll do this soon.

Cheers

 Moreover, it's been weeks for me that I cannot access anymore the

 Do you know if any of these tools will be ok soon?
 Would you know any other user-friendly tool for exporting shp from OSM

[Heather Leson]

Hi Fernando and Paul, I just wanted to let you know that someone is mapping
information on the Floods on a Crowdmap. I will be reaching out to them
today https://inundaciones2abril.crowdmap.com/

(I see they are used google maps, maybe they will change to OSM if I
recommend it.)

I realize that your work is separate, but if you want an introduction, I'd

Re: [HOT] Mapa Inundaciones La Plata

[Paul Norman]

I’ve put it up. The JOSM URL is
http://pnorman.dev.openstreetmap.org/imagery/plata_apr_2013/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.j
peg
 

 

It goes south to General Belgrano and north across the water into Uruguay.

 

I’ll add it to the JOSM, P2 and iD lists tomorrow.

 

Technical details:

 

I did this as JPEG tiles for speed reasons. I also made use of the Terralook
shapefiles for clipping, which wasn’t entirely successful because there are
some small black gaps.

You have to go through glovis (http://glovis.usgs.gov/) and order it from
the Terralook ASTER collection. It comes as a geojpeg. I have some shell
scripts that make the merging easier.  Because it comes from Terralook we
get no choice of the bands.

 

I should have it up as a TMS layer tonight.

 

Landsat 8 will make this much easier, covering every point on Earth (except
some polar regions) every 16 days and with images 2-3x as wide per pass.

Is there a link for the full res geotiff?

According to the Image Policies linked from the footer in

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16945

 

"Unless otherwise noted, images and video on JPL public web sites (public
sites ending with a jpl.nasa.gov address) may be used for any purpose
without prior permission, subject to the special cases noted below.
Publishers who wish to have authorization may print this page and retain it
for their records; JPL does not issue image permissions on an image by image
basis."

 

By electing to download the material from this web site the user agrees:

1. that Caltech makes no representations or warranties with respect to
ownership of copyrights in the images, and does not represent others who may
claim to be authors or owners of copyright of any of the images, and makes
no warranties as to the quality of the images. Caltech shall not be
responsible for any loss or expenses resulting from the use of the images,
and you release and hold Caltech harmless from all liability arising from
such use.

2. to use a credit line in connection with images. Unless otherwise noted in
the caption information for an image, the credit line should be "Courtesy
NASA/JPL-Caltech."

3. that the endorsement of any product or service by Caltech, JPL or NASA
must not be claimed or implied.

 

 

Restrictions explained after these word  apply only regarding NASA and JPL
logos, trademarks, that may not be used freely except from NASA personnel.
But 

 

I think these terms are fully compatible with ODBL.

https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/aster_policies is not very clear. Does
someone know  their policy? 


Also, I was told that there was an aerial imagery mission going on, I will
try to get updates about it and to see if theres a way to use that.

In the other hand, I was setting up an umap instance on
http://umap.openstreetmap.org.ar then imported the ushahidi KMLs into it:

http://umap.openstreetmap.org.ar/map/cypher/inundaciones-2013/#12/-34.8904/-
57.9749

 

This is great 



Then presented it at http://sos.openstreetmap.org.ar

I created a task in OSMTM, we should improve OSM data for La Plata and I
think that priorities are the places with the highest density of alerts.

http://tareas.openstreetmap.org.ar/job/11

Definitely. Based on the umap, I just split the two main affected grid, both
to highlith them and allow contributor to complete the digitizing quicker 



Thats all for now,

Fernando.
