Re: [HOT] Date of a mapped feature?

2015-05-02 Thread Pat Tressel
Nicholas and Andre --

Chris is asking about the date of the *imagery* used for tracing, not the
date of the traced elements.

All --

He makes an excellent point.  If imagery is several years old, then
features being traced may well have changed, with the likelihood being
higher for more ephemeral human-made structures.  For this purpose, would
be nice if imagery sets had metadata that included a creation date, but I'm
looking at the TMS spec, and don't see it, or any field that could be used
for it:

2015-05-02 Thread Pat Tressel
Imre has cleared up my confusion, so I want to make sure no-one was
confused by my confusion.  ;-)

The bad tag is the one with the equals sign in the value:
name=building=yes.
As Pierre says, good catch!

The table of other tags is from taginfo, and is just there for comparison
of the above strange tag, with tags that are already in use.

Sorry!

Re: [HOT] Urgent Request - Nepal Earthquake - What data can be shared on the maps?

2015-05-02 Thread Arun Ganesh
Hey Felix,
The simplest failsafe tool that comes to mind that use the map data we have
put together is fieldpapers: http://fieldpapers.org

You can basically generate A4 sized pdfs of maps for an area of interest.
Field workers can use this to navigate on the ground, and also collect
additional information on the paper including corrections.

These prints can later be scanned and used as a reference by mappers online
to update the map data back on openstreetmap
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/28.0029/84.6263 which will become
available to all other map users..

Re: [HOT] Date of a mapped feature?

2015-05-02 Thread Chris Braun

Hello,

Thanks for your answers. Based on the answers I got, I think we should 
distinguish between 3 different related issues:
- *ISSUE 1:* Get the date if the imagery provides the information 
(applies e.g. for Bing, not for Mapbox) -- Explain how to do this in 
iD, Potlatch, JOSM or without editor
- *ISSUE 2:* Get the date if the imagery does not provide the 
information (e.g. for MapBox) -- Ask the data provider to add this 
information
- *ISSUE 3:* In case the date of the imagery is provided, deal with the 
zoom level issue.


Further details/questions to each issue:

*ISSUE 1: **Get the date if the imagery provides the information*
I will try to summarise, based on the answers you sent to my post, how 
to find out, given a specific feature (for instance way 58754640) the 
date of the most recent imagery (in this case Bing) which was used to 
draw/validate this feature. Actually, this describes how to reach the 
changeset page for the feature, but from there I still don't know how to 
get the information I am looking for. Could you correct/complete this?


Notice that I don't use Potlatch, so I will limit this post to A) 
nothing, B) iD editor and C) JOSM.


_A) Nothing (directly in openstreetmap.org)_
1) In openstreetmap.org, go to the relevant location -- 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/27.70641/85.29392
2) Click on Layers (right sidebar) then Map data -- each feature 
gets a blue line (for ways) or circle (for nodes) around it
3) Click on the relevant feature (here way 58754640) -- opens 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/58754640#map=17/27.70641/85.29446layers=D
4) Click on View history (link at the bottom of the left sidebar) -- 
opens https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/58754640/history
I can see it was created 5 years ago and last updated 4 months ago. Then 
I click on the latest changeset (which I could have done directly in 
step 3) -- opens https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/28154865

In the tags I can read created_by:iD 1.6.2 and imagery_used: Bing.
But how can I get the date of the Bing image which was used??

_B) Using iD editor _
1) Click on the feature
2) Click on View on OpenStreetMap.org in the bottom left -- opens 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/58754640

This brings me to the same step as A3 above. So the same question applies.

_C) Using JOSM_
1) Click on Download, I select Bounding Box with e.g. (27.70/27.71 - 
85.29/85.30)

2) Click on the way I am interested in (way 58754640)
3) Click on View-History, which opens the window History for way 58754640
Again, I get the same information as in step A4 above.

So is it the right way to go and how to find the date of the imagery then?

*ISSUE 2: **Get the date if the imagery does not provide the information 
(e.g. for MapBox) *
Since MapBox does not provide the date information, would it be possible 
to ask MapBox to add this? What would be the way to go to do this request?


*ISSUE 3: **In case the date of the imagery is provided, deal with the 
zoom level issue *
To be honest, I did not really understand the problem here. What I am 
asking is the latest date of a single feature, not of an overall image 
or area. This is an information I would expect to find in the changeset 
of a feature or elsewhere with the data associated to a feature. Which 
is not dependent of the zoom level, right?


Thanks a lot for your help!

Re: [HOT] Urgent Request - Nepal Earthquake - What data can be shared on the maps?

2015-05-02 Thread Blake Girardot
Hi Felix,

I am there sure there are others on this list much more qualified than
me to help you record, display and share this data.

Could you perhaps let us know exactly what kind of data it is and in
what format it is?

My guess is that some of the data would fit in directly with our
systems and be very valuable (geo located facilities, camps, road
status, etc) and some of it would be better as a separate layer in a
different system with our map as the underlying base layer.

Off the top of my head it sounds like maybe
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/ might be a good place for the data that
is more informational and is very functional.

I look forward to speaking with you further. Please contact me off
list about how you can enter the road status data or how you might
pass it to us to enter and maybe some of that visually goes into the
umap I listed above.

I believe umap has an option for a private map, but most of them are
open so maybe some of the contact info would not be a good fit.

Anyway, just an option, like I said, others probably have some better
suggestions.

Cheers,
Blake

need to be provided proper guidelines, and point them to right resources.

Colleagues,

On behalf of Geo for All   http://www.geoforall.org/ 
http://www.geoforall.org/  ,i request you all to inform your colleagues and 
students to contribute in the crisis mapping action launched by the 
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. This will also help teach the students also 
the real essence of education and humanity and sharing knowledge and 
expertise to help each other in times of need.

We thank our colleagues (esp. Maria Brovelli, Marco Minghini and Giovanna 
Venuti) and students at GEO Lab in Como (which is one of the GeoForAll Labs) 
for also organising a mapping  initiative to support the relief efforts.

Details at 
http://www.polo-como.polimi.it/news/dettaglio-della-news/article/165/helping-nepal-with-a-mapping-action-at-como-campus-967/

The scale of the efforts needed is huge, so more volunteers esp. with FOSS 
experience in automatic image classification and feature extraction and wish to 
contribute to the mapping response for the Nepal earthquake are needed . 
Details at 
http://opensourcegeospatial.icaci.org/2015/04/mapping-response-contributions-for-nepal/

There are many tasks that need to be accomplished at http://tasks.hotosm.org/

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake

Thanks again for all of you for your support and help with this.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Re: [HOT] Urgent Request - Nepal Earthquake - What data can be shared on the maps?

2015-05-02 Thread Prabhas Pokharel
Hi Felix, for your purposes, you should also look at http://quakemap.org
for your purposes. The data that you are talking about seems to be of the
nature that is more appropriate for this level of overlay data rather
than for the OSM basemap itself.

If you can let us know a local phone number to get in touch with you, we at
Kathmandu Living Labs can call and figure out with you which of your data
is appropriate for OSM, which of it is appropriate for quakemap.org. You
can also get in touch with us at 01-620-5000

 Hi there!

 First of all, great job you're doing with your project!
 I could not find the information about what the HOT-Map is capable and
 time is short for us.
 I'm here in Pokhara and close to a very busy NGO which got lots of
 information about state of help in villages, roads open or not, contact
 information to villages etc.
 Whilst we where trying to find options to share this information to other
 organisations aswell for people out in the field, we found the HOT project.

 - So if anyone could be so kind and tell me if this project is an option
 for our purposes.
 - Do you know other tools that might be interesting for us, for output
 aswell for gathering information in an easy way from the individuals beeing
 in the field or coming back from there.

 Thanks a lot for you help!

 Felix

I think a better aproach to this could be update previous polygon tags,
from landuse=residential to landuse=brownfield and erase duplicated
polygon.

 Hi, please, one question:
 I'm tracing a landuse=brownfield poligon for recently disappeared homes
 (comparing DigitalGlobe 2015-04-29 with both Bing and MapGive / HIU april

 landuse=residential poligon (probably will be a common case). I ask: is
 it ok, doesn't it happen any kind of conflict for a landuse over another
 landuse, like conflict in rendering brownfield over residential, or any
 kind of conflict for identification? // Also, no sign of tents in the
 neigborhood of these demolished buildings, confirming reports that rescue

Hi

While mapping task #1014 I found this admin boundary:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/341454201

Which appears to be a bulk upload with many tags that don't match the usual OSM 
schemes.

Acording to the changeset: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/30616871  

someone (4rch) has already contacted the mapper a few days ago.

Just wanted to know if someone is already in touch to see if it is necessary to 
revert the changeset? Since I have never reverted a changeset myself, I would 
refrain from doing it.

Cheers

Stéphane

[HOT] Dhaka tasks updated w new imagery

2015-05-02 Thread Daniel Joseph
Hello Everyone,

I know there's a lot of focus on Nepal right now. If there are any
experienced editors who want to help out on another area, we could use some
help getting parts of Dhaka, Bangladesh traced. The HIU just released some
NextView imagery.

The tracing is difficult due to the quality of the imagery (both NextView
and Bing), and also the dense urban setting. *We need as many of the
buildings and roads mapped as accurately as possible before mid-May* when
there will be a training and field mapping with the Bangladesh Red Crescent
to map for longer term disaster risk reduction projects. The field
verification and data collection will be conducted using Field Papers
http://fieldpapers.org/ and OpenMapKit
https://github.com/AmericanRedCross/OpenMapKit.

There are two areas of focus for the activities:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/844
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/845

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks and all the best,

We are now on for a whole day of training and mapping at San Francisco
state University.

We have three computer labs booked for this (capacity 40, 30, 70). I have 1
near-confirmed mapper and 1 in the process of confirming mapper for
training (9AM to 12 PM). If you can come by and train, please let me know.
Our goal is to get 5 to 6 campus people trained well, so we can repeat
training and mapping in the next few days.

Looking forward to a productive session on Tuesday. We should have many
student volunteers as well!

A big Thank you to you all for your awesome work.

Yances
I think that we should keep the duplicates for now.
We are in the emergency and did not had time to think about the various 
problems when we created this job.
I prefer that we keep duplicate, otherwise we would loose info about the 
residential area. 

It should be easy to mange once the job is completed and revise the 
landuse=brownfield. 

We can define a nepal earthquake event related tag to report this and 
facilitate later the database management.

I think a better aproach to this could be update previous polygon tags, from 
landuse=residential to landuse=brownfield and erase duplicated polygon.

Hi, please, one question:I'm tracing a landuse=brownfield poligon for 
recently disappeared homes (comparing DigitalGlobe 2015-04-29 with both Bing 
and MapGive / HIU april 2015 images, ) over a place where there was already a 
landuse=residential poligon (probably will be a common case). I ask: is it 
ok, doesn't it happen any kind of conflict for a landuse over another 
landuse, like conflict in rendering brownfield over residential, or any kind 
of conflict for identification? // Also, no sign of tents in the neigborhood of 
these demolished buildings, confirming reports that rescue haven't arrived yet

Hello Sérgio,

I just realized that no one had answered your question yet. So I will give
it a try.

I think ideally the landuse polygons do not overlap. But in practice I also
think that it does not really cause problems if they do. Compared to some
of the other issues with the quality of data.I have seen recently this does
not really scare me.

So if it's easy I would adjust the residential area. But if for example
this requires a multipolygon I would rather have overlapping polygons.

I hope this helps, others are happily welcome to comment as well.

 While mapping task #1014 I found this admin boundary:

 Which appears to be a bulk upload with many tags that don't match the
 usual OSM schemes.

 Acording to the changeset:

 someone (4rch) has already contacted the mapper a few days ago.

 Just wanted to know if someone is already in touch to see if it is

Looking at the official helipads (aeroway=helipad) gives us some clue about

Hi,
I think it might do some massive damage when you change
landuse=residential to brownfield. First, it is crucial to know
where a residential are WAS. Also a brownfield in most cases doesn't
equals to a residential area! There are damaged buildings but no
tents showing nearby. We have to keep the residential area info for
the tasks rescue teams will need now and in several WEEKS! when
damaged buildings are not the greatest Problem anymore...
For now, everybody who needs a brownfield can highlight it. Anybody
needing residential areas can also use our data.

[HOT] Question just to be sure.. Residential landuse areas should have at least 20 buildings?

2015-05-02 Thread Tom McDonald
I encountered a tile with many small (2 or 3 houses) areas in the hills of
Nepal marked as landuse=Residential. It is my understanding that this tag
should be used only for true Settlements of 20 or more houses?

I read somewhere that counting the number of Residential areas can be
used as a rough guide to population. This only works if they are all about
same size.

The validation instructions for my task: #1018 - Nepal Earthquake, 2015,
detailed mapping 2nd pass, states residential/settlement areas - validate
if all settlements (a cluster of 20 or so houses) are enclosed with
landuse=residential polygon/enclosed way.

Is it correct for me to remove the landuse tag for these tiny groups of
houses?

[HOT] How to locate places without addresses? Open location code

2015-05-02 Thread Claire Halleux
Ever heard of this?
A G*solution for locating places accurately where addresses are not obvious:
http://google-opensource.blogspot.be/2015/04/open-location-code-addresses-for.html

Still, it doesn't seem to me more intuitive than coordinate systems.
Ex: I am currently in 87C4VXW3+HG8.
There are ways to shorten it, but I doubt that those would be applicable in
places that would actually need this kind of tool.

However, would you have any experience on this or other ways to share
regarding using non standard geographic coordinates system for locating
places?

Have you had a look at what3words: http://what3words.com? It's three words

In Tanzania my team and I have been looking at using them (through pilots) for

Hi again, I just noticed Emmor beat me to the answer ... 
I wanted to ad that it can be useful to look at the history of changes in a 
case like this. Sometime I do this to make sure if the other person possibly 
had more recent information (or local knowledge, as there was a lot of mapping 
activity in Nepal in the last years - in some areas I have seen many edits by 
users with Nepalese sounding names). 

You can find the history if you change to the map view and click on the 
History tab on the top. In this case there were several very new users 
contributing.

As to the residential areas, I would draw the line around the larger clusters 
of buildings and leave the others outside. The instructions in this project 
specify that it should be around 20 or so buildings. Mappers' styles vary, 
personally I don't like the tiny residential areas. 
The important thing is that the buildings are there, so that rescuers can see 
were people are living.

Re: [HOT] Experienced mapper please verify: nonexistent stream on Task #1955, other mistakes

2015-05-02 Thread Suzan Reed
In Nepal villages can be spread out over very large areas. In Nepal a village 
is often not a tight group of buildings. An area as large as a half a mile wide 
will all relate as a village. Small clusters of buildings can be one family, or 
a monastery, but people 500, even 1000 meters away are neighbors in that 
village. 

So what do we do with large areas of houses and buildings spread out over a 
1000 ft area…in Nepal?

After having investigated the Java plugin situation with Google Chrome I
have found there is a way to enable the NPAPI that has been disabled.

1. Open your Chrome web browser.

2. In the URL panel at the top type in chrome://flags/#enable-npapi

3. Click the Enable link for Enable NPAPI.

4. At the bottom of the page click the Relaunch button that has now

Task completed and Chrome should now support Java plugins.

Suzan,

I believe it is a watercourse, look at the location at level 16 with Mapbox
imagery, it does appear to go to the stream to the east.
Another issue I see is the extra large Residential area polygons, they
should be just around the houses and not include so much area without
houses.

In this case the buildings are all mapped individually, the question was just where to draw the line around them. I guess its not that important, as long as all the buildings are on the map.

Re: [HOT] How to locate places without addresses? Open location code

2015-05-02 Thread Denis Carriere
Most topographic maps will be using MGRS grids for referencing a location,
it can be 1m precise to 100m depending on how much digits you grid
contains. Garmin GPS's have MGRS built in by default, it's a good idea to
use both LatLng  MGRS when referencing a location.

Example of MGRS
- 45R UL 12345 12345 (1 meter precise)
- 45R UL 123 123 (100 meter precise)

 Hi John, All,

 what3words is free at point of use and is human readable - the word
 component also is quite good at error checking.

 Postcodes and generic codes work if the people you want to use them have a
 cognition of addressing systems like postcodes or mailstops. My experience
 in rural Tanzania is that they don't have that experience. We've been
 integrating what3words so people will be able phone or text location. ID
 numbers on water points just washed away/eroded. what3words works even
 under partial degradation, then it can be error corrected unlike a postcode
 where every digit is relevant.

 Best,

 Hi Claire,

 Have you had a look at what3words: http://what3words.com? It's three
 words and is multi lingual, quite a lot more usable than genetic codes.

 In Tanzania my team and I have been looking at using them (through
 pilots) for locating/identifying water points and will scale them across a
 few regions over the next year.

 Happy to chat more if you would like.

Re: [HOT] Latest PBF?

2015-05-02 Thread Pierre Béland
Thanks Milo for your contribution. I will revise the wiki since this is more 
then daily update. Will simply say hourly update.

One way to show how these regular updates are important, the Nepal database has 
more then double since April 25. Amazing effort from the Global OSM community. 
The presence of Kathmandu Living Labs in Kathmandu greatly help the interface 
with the humanitarian organizations and assure that they use OSM Maps  
Services.  Maps are ever more important in the context of this activation where 
remote villages have no road access.

Dion,
re-reading your email, you say an hour behind Geofabrik. I understand that I

this for both pbf and obf. 

Would this be correct?

Thanks for these updates. Will add this link  in the wiki page to assure even

- Alternate PFB file if any problem downloading from Geofabrik (one hour late 
vs Geofabrik).

Feel free to use these locations. They will be an hour behind the dataset at 
Geofabrik at most.

Is anyone else having difficulty getting the latest update from

JOSM is stand alone and doesn't use a browser.  However HOT task web page
uses a JOSM plugin for remote control which might be affected.

[HOT] Tags/Presets and tiled map servers used in HOT?

2015-05-02 Thread Stefan Keller
Hi

Sorry to interrupt your fantastic work capturing Nepal with two
questions. They are of long term nature and interest:
1. What tags are recommended to use in HOT actions (is there a
wiki.osm.org page)?
2. Which interactive maps (i.e. map tile servers) are you using
(besides Garmin .img)?

Regarding 1. I assumed tags are described in
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags and JOSM Presets
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/HDM_preset).
Now, I'm confused because I looked at taginfo instance Nepal
http://nepal-taginfo.openstreetmap.hu/keys and saw e.g. idp:camp_site
which is not existing in JOSM Presets. JOSM HOT presets only contain
tourism=camp_site.

Regarding 2. When looking at OSM Humanitarian style or Stamen's I'd
expected to see specific HOT tags like camp_sites or destructed
buildings:
* OSM Humanitarian:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/342295158#map=18/27.89391/85.14700layers=H
* Stamen: http://tiles.openterrain.org/?humaniterrain#18/27.89391/85.14579
Is there a tiled map servers I missed?

Yours, S.
