Re: [OSM-talk] Mapillary plugin for JOSM

2015-05-04 Thread Janko Mihelić
This brings us exciting possibilities. Someone could make a layer that
detects inconsistencies between mapillary sign data and osm data. For
example:

-there should be a oneway street near a oneway sign
-there should be a turn restriction or a oneway street junction near a sign
with a turn restriction
-there should be a maxspeed tag where there is a max speed sign
...

 Actually found a good mount at Best Buy.  It's got a bit of bounce to it,
which is good since it seems to work as a shock absorber.  It's also got a
very long arm on it, which is also handy since I drive a 4x4 and a state of
borderline neglect, so having a mount with some bounce to it that I can
actually reach from the windshield is a great match for decently consistent
stability.

Yes, an undiscussed edit will be pounced on like raw meat by a hungry tiger.

A discussed edit is very different.
I recently completed a 250,000+ node mechanical edit.  The process of
gaining consensus was tedious and lengthy, but it happened, and the
edits were not reverted.  I did another with 1000 nodes, consolidating
a dozen diverse tagging styles.  That also is holding without revert.

Proper mechanical edits have tremendous benefits for data consumers.
There are many good reasons to do them, but carefully, and with the
community on board.

Hopefully the sign identification gets *way* better between now and then.
It completely doesn't seem to understand US style speed limits, minimum
speeds, night speeds, truck speeds, truck minimum, or truck night speeds.
Also seems to assume that Americans don't have yield signs (and I would
hazard to guess it has *zero* clue about the older keystone shaped
yields).  There's a number of other signs that are frequent beyond speed
limits that don't seem to be understood based on the US traffic signs
mechanical turk type game thing they have, like bumps, bus stops, left
merges, slight curves versus sharp curves, etc...

Peter Neubauer (from Mapillary) did mention that they are planning to
'locate' signs automatically which are in more than one photo on their side
(using interpolation or is that extrapolation?), but that may be for later
on. By locating I mean: the location of the picture showing the sign is not
the location of the sign, obviously. Except in a close up taken on foot,
maybe.

Once they do that, their API will also allow to query for locations of
those signs. We should find a way to establish a link between these
signs/poles' nodes in OSM and their API. An extra tag containing a url,
maybe?

I think it's best we point to their site, like we do in the case of
wikidata, because our node ids are not guaranteed to be stable. If they
want to refer back to OSM, they can use Overpass to query for it. (or more
efficiently, query for several at the same time).

We usually have 1 node for 1 pole, which may have more than 1 sign on them.
For poles with signs on both sides, I'm not sure how we map those. I guess
we should go and have a look in Finland, as that's about the only country
where traffic signs are being mapped in greater numbers.

Not sure how this would/could map to Mapillary's API.

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapillary layers

2015-05-04 Thread Toby Murray
Not that I am aware of. Their API generally returns (geo)json. This is what
is used on their website. Although by the looks of it, the traffic sign
stuff is in v2 of their API which isn't documented on their "Developers"
page. But I did find documentation on it here:
https://a.mapillary.com/#get-searchimor

There is a GSoC project proposal this year to make a JOSM plugin for
Mapillary. I'm not sure what the status on that is right now.

Perhaps we should start an "OSMF approved vendor" programme, and
out-source certification of "OSMF certified engineers" to a few
selected training organisations and make a fortune! Plus, it would
keep out the riff-raff, we don't want no clueless self-taught hackers
to build a business on our brand, right?

It is completely clear that from a marketing and branding pov a
different business model (aka the WMF model, see my diary post from last
week) would be simpler, more effective and less confusing.

It would however not be more "geo-business friendly".

I'm not sure what utility such an organisation would have (not even
touching on the obvious back lash it would provoke), the OSMF and the
community already point to the consulting and services companies in
OSMspace where ever possible (for example on switch2osm.org), And if OSM
