[OSM-talk] forward: [CrisisMappers] World Bank, GFDRR, RIT, ImageCAT Remote Sensing Mission to Haiti ‐ Status Report ‐ 19 January 2010
World Bank, GFDRR, RIT, ImageCAT Remote Sensing Mission to Haiti ‐ Status Report ‐ 19 January 2010 Preparations for the Haiti operations are well underway. The RIT Haiti Response Team has been assembled and is working on assigned tasks. The RIT aircraft is en route to the Bahamas for the first night. On Wednesday morning it will depart for Turks and Caicos Islands and refuel there. From there, it will proceed to the Port‐au‐Prince target area and begin image acquisition. Data will be transferred to a server at RIT for processing overnight and delivery to UB the next morning, approximately 12 hours after the aircraft landing. Updated Schedule Wed 1/20/10 0800 Aircraft departs Bahamas for Turks and Caicos 1000 Aircraft lands at Turks and Caicos for fuel 1200 Aircraft begins first data collect over PaP 1900 Aircraft returns to BQN in Puerto Rico 2000 Flight crew rest; graduate student transfers data to Rochester via internet Thurs ‐ Sunday 0600 Aircraft departs BQN for Haiti mission 1200 Aircraft lands at Gregorio Luperon Int Airport (MDPP) Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic for fuel 1300 Aircraft departs for Haiti mission 1900 Aircraft returns to BQN in Puerto Rico 2000 Flight crew rest; graduate student transfers data to Rochester via internet Monday 1/22/10 0600 Aircraft departs BQN for Rochester NY 1800 Aircraft arrives Rochester NY Expected products: Below is a brief description of the products that will be delivered. More detail will be provided in future updates. a) Geo‐rectified (easily ingested in map‐based software) and ortho‐ rectified (corrected for relief impacts) imagery + LiDAR digital elevation model (topography) and top‐surface model (building/vegetation heights) ‐ all in raster/grid formats for dissemination through Yahoo! and Google Earth. These data will be useful to responders and interpreters (damage assessment, building heights, etc.) and will map to real‐world coordinates for immediate in‐field use. Data will also be hosted at University at Buffalo (UB) and as back‐up, at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). In addition, two sets of damage maps will be prepared by the ImageCat team. These maps shall be used to quantify the amount of damage to different types of building occupancies and eventually, be useful for the reconstruction effort. b) Value‐added products: By this we mean interpreted geospatial products that extend beyond data, e.g., land use classifications, building damage classifications, thermal anomaly detection, building height extraction, vegetation extraction, to name a few. These are products that will be developed by researchers at RIT, UB, Purdue, and University of Texas and others pro bono. They are intended to aid the recovery effort, but with the caveat that these products are not validated or field‐verified. They will be properly documented and will include meta‐data, thereby allowing users to assess their usefulness for any particular purpose. An example might be where different size cavities in buildings might lead to different thermal responses. [For back reports please contact Stuart Gill: sg...@worldbank.org] Stuart P. D.

On 5th December, two software engineers employed by Biond Software in India were arrested for mapping highways using vehicle based GPS devices. Further evidence against the pair emerged when it was found that a laptop they had been using in the car contained some photos of the local airforce base. The company claims they had been commissioned by Nokia Navigator to create maps of local roads and terrain. Following an investigation by the Anti Terrorist Squad of Gujarat the cartographers have now been charged with violating the Official Secrets Act and will remain in custody." ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
