Re: [HOT] HOT project 1913 - Sri Lanka Floods

[Blake Girardot]

Hi all,

I just created a very informal tutorial video while looking into this
imagery alignment issue. I attempted to make a "How to Align Imagery
in 3 mins" tutorial, but it all went wrong, the imagery did not need
to be realigned to the mapping at all amongst other things. The
imagery alignment seems to be an issue so is one of things we are
looking into, I thought I would just record the how-to while I looked
at the mapping data to understand the issue better anyway.

I actually still think it packs a lot of useful information about how
to actually do background imagery re-alignment and when not to do
imagery background alignment and what to do instead into 3 mins. But
is is very informal and has some loud sounds from the environment in
the middle.

Spoiler: iD has changed how it does background imagery alignment as
well since the last time I had do that so it is worth watching even if
you think you already know how to align background imagery in iD, you
might not like I did not :)

To see an excellent example of how to make HOT How To Videos, see
Andrew Wiseman's examples. He just completed adding closed captioning
text for both Spanish and English:

On thing to keep in mind is that some of this might have been mapped
via a different project so instructions that used Bing, the OSM
community has been active in Sri Lanka in 2016 a fair amount already.

The history in josm would answer that question probably.

This custom imagery is the Mapbox layer (identical url). But unfortunately not 
all contributors use it.

The project seems to have it's own custom imagery as this is what shows be 
default in both JOSM and iD.

[HOT] HOT project 1913 - Sri Lanka Floods

[Michael Heißmeier]

Hi all,

I just validated a few tiles on this project and the main problem I can see is 
this:

The instructions tell us to align all buildings with the provided Mapbox imagery 
but most buildings are aligned to Bing. There is a noticeable offset between the 
two and I am realining buildings when validating.


Please make sure you select the proper imagery when contributing to this project 
(and probably others in this activation).
