[OSM-talk] Custom Imagery in Potlatch
When I use the Background > Edit... > Add dialogue to add a custom imagery layer in Potlatch2, the new layer does not appear in the Background dropdown. (Fortunately, assigning a function key and using that does work.) Anyone else seeing this problem? -- Steve --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

I was looking at the Digital Globe site, thinking of buying some images. I've used the PicLayer plugin for JOSM successfully. It has tools to stretch/compress and align the image correctly and then save the resulting calibration for future use. It's suitable for a reasonably small area - ideally one screenful at the res that you want to map, but you could zoom up a level or two without hurting your results too much (i.e. 16 screens' worth of image). Basically, you need calibration targets on the image with known lat/lon values. Normally, you have this for at least the four corners. If there is another in the middle, that's even better for verification. You then use the PicLayer tools to align those points with the same lat/lon in the JOSM viewport. -- Alan Mintz ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

It appears there is no "open background image and add to map" dialog. Could you tolerate using Merkaartor? It has a pretty good support for all images supported by GDAL. It can do on-the-fly reprojection too. -Jukka Rahkonen- ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Custom Imagery
If you have your imagery in the typical GeoTIFF format at least for small areas the Import Image plugin will allow you to use it directly. If you have a larger area it may make sense to tile the data and set-up your own server (however the tiling is a rather slow process).

Still new to all this, so, this is a practical technical question. Once I find more about buying stuff, hints at that process welcome too, then I will share what I learn about the licenses etc, too.

Re: [OSM-talk] Custom Imagery
Hi Alex, I've bought imagery previously for Padang from a DigitalGlobe reseller. It was delivered as a GeoTiff. I then used gdal2tiles.py to tile it to be used in JOSM. You may want to recheck the areas you are interested, Bing appears to have updated quite a bit of imagery in Indonesia recently.

[OSM-talk] Custom Imagery
I am looking into how to use custom imagery for tracing. Can anyone point me at a process, and how-to? I was looking at the Digital Globe site, thinking of buying some images. What would I do with them to load them into JOSM? It appears there is no "open background image and add to map" dialog. Do I need to "create wms tiles"?
