[talk-au] NearMap PhotoMap imagery for OSM
Hi all, NearMap is a company that's going to do monthly or more often flights over the major cities, and license their images so that derivative works are CC-BY-SA, ie for OSM. They're also using OSM for their map layer. http://www.nearmap.com/ is their website but it's currently in stealth mode - see [1] for the username/password. The imagery is mostly around Perth so far, but Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney also have some coverage. http://twitter.com/nearmap is updated with flights, apparently it takes two weeks for new imagery to go online. Their presentation [2] from 2007 claims "We operate at much less than $5/km2" thanks to their custom hardware and HPC processing. There's an investor presentation [3] from their parent company (which is a networking patent licensor) with a few more details. The presentation contains so example shots, including over time and comparisons to Google's imagery. There's more at [4] and in their forum [5]. As well as photos, they have highly accurate terrain data.

Do you know if they use multiple aircraft in the different cities, or do they fly the same air craft around the country? If it's the same aircraft do they plan to take imagery between cities too? At $5/sq km, would it be possible to pay to get towns photographed that might be out of the way? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I think they use multiple aircraft - the cameras are housed in something they call the HyperPod that looks like it just attaches to a regular light airplane. They're not going to sell the HyperPod, just use it themselves. > If it's the same aircraft do they plan to take imagery between cities too? > > At $5/sq km, would it be possible to pay to get towns photographed > that might be out of the way? I couldn't say, but they might do it once for free (vs the regular updates planned for cities). For example, the WA coverage currently goes from Lancelin to New Norcia down to Northam, across to Kelleberrin, down to Quairading, back to Kalamunda, down to Dwellingup and across to Preston Beach, but the outlying areas are flown much less often than the Perth metro area. The other cities are only just being flown (they're a Perth-based company), so it's hard to say how much coverage they'll have in the long term. For SA, the initial coverage around Adelaide is all the land west of a line from just southeast of Gawler through Meadows to a point due east of Sellicks Beach.

They're not going to sell the HyperPod, just use it themselves. I wasn't looking to buy one, just see if we could get coverage of larger regional areas like Tamworth in NSW which has 50-100k people, but no sat or other hi-res imagery. While there are other regional cities already mapped, land uses wouldn't have been so it would still be useful to have coverage virtually everywhere Yahoo doesn't :) > I couldn't say, but they might do it once for free (vs the regular updates > planned for cities).

Nope, I just read their presentations and website thoroughly and inferred their business model would support a single flyover as a hook to get commercial and government licenses which would pay for regular updates. Speaking of licenses, you should probably have a read of the commercial ones - it's not clear to me if Big Tin Can Maps qualifies for the free one, although IANAL.

Re: [talk-au] NearMap PhotoMap imagery for OSM
This pseudo-wms (or whatever we are calling it) doesn't appear to zoom in as far as the NearMap data allows. For example, this link: http://map-data.bigtincan.com/wms/nearmap.php?bbox=153.0113011,-27.4445217,153.0115373,-27.4443121&srs=EPSG:4326&width=500&height=500 returns the right region, but is not 500*500 pixels in width. It seems that the zoom level is not getting any closer than z18, while I think NearMap can support a fair way past that. - David Bugzilla from deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com wrote: > > Actually I added the username/password as part of the URL for the > images and it now works in JOSM :) > > Add a new WMS layer etc, and put the URL as: > > html:http://map-data.bigtincan.com/wms/nearmap.php? > > ___ > Talk-au mailing list > Talk-au@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au > > -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/NearMap-PhotoMap-imagery-for-OSM-tp26192031p26226435.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - Australian Talk mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Re: [talk-au] NearMap PhotoMap imagery for OSM
Hi guys, My names Alex and I work at Nearmap. I'm responsible for the Javascript browser application so I can only answer a sub set of all the questions I see here on the mailing list. I'll have to pass some of the salesy type ones onto someone else. In the areas we fly, we normally have images up to zoom level 21 or 22. In some very rare areas we do return images at levels higher than this (e.g. Perth CBD). The browser application @ www.nearmap.com allows you to zoom into level 24 on all areas. It does this by scaling the images up from a lower level on the client side. So if you can zoom into level 24 it doesn't necessarily mean you will be able to request images from level 24 in your plugins. I hope that helps some of you guys. I'm really excited that the OSM community has got on board and already given us heaps of great feedback that we're busily trying to schedule into our release plans :) David Dean wrote: > > This pseudo-wms (or whatever we are calling it) doesn't appear to zoom in > as far as the NearMap data allows.

I went to a wedding in Sydney on the APEC weekend, and it was not nearly as bad as I expected.

I work for NearMap (as does Alex K), and I'm happy to respond to enquiries on the list. There are actually a few of us on various OSM forums and lists, but being a public company we're sometimes a little bit constrained in what we can say. The best way to interact with us is via the forum on the NearMap site (http://www.production.nearmap.com/community/contribute.aspx and click on Forum), but I get the emails on this list and will read those that refer to us :) Anyway, in answer to a few of the questions that have come up: * We use different aircraft in different locations; the comments by James Andrewartha about the HyperPod are pretty much on the button. * The need for authentication to access the website has been fully removed now, so JOSM should be able to query our servers directly. * We added the licensing about tracing for OSM specifically to allow use of our images to boost the OSM data. If you read more on our website (for example, http://www.production.nearmap.com/help/faq.aspx#Gq4) you'll see that we generate our StreetMap tiles from the OSM data, so it's very much to our mutual benefit to get that data as up-to-date as we can. In fact, since we all live in Perth, there are quite a few updates to the data that we've contributed, using the Potlatch custom URL format. * Load balancing: all the externally available hostnames resolve to balanced IPs, so you could use any of the web0-web7 or www hostnames. However, to make sure that you get the best service, including using the nearest web servers to you (in net-connectivity terms), use www.nearmap.com. * Accuracy: this is important to us! The initial surveys of some cities suffered some teething troubles with hardware and the accuracy suffered. You can generally expect the accuracy to be as good as the recent Perth surveys, and when we reprocess the older surveys they will get more accurate. If you are assessing accuracy and find somewhere that we appear to be way out (preferably against a known reference point), then please let us know, via the forum. * Caching tiles: if you can, please do. They're served with strong etags and suitable Cache-Control and Max-Age headers. If your system honours those, you'll get updated images in a reasonable time frame and avoid hitting our servers too hard. Incidentally, if you do try and suck down tiles at a very high rate, you may well get throttled and start getting 509 responses.

If you add an *nmd* parameter to the NearMap URLs with the date in MMDD format, you'll get the images for that date. To be exact, the date is a cutoff; you'll get the latest images with dates earlier than or equal to the date specified.

I wasn't aware the parameter was treated as a cutoff date, but I knew about the parameter. The problem I'm really trying to solve is with the slippymap plugin, because it is compiled and the URL isn't easily setable/changeable by a user, there is no options to tweak the URL in the plugin interface/settings, so I was looking for help with the GUI stuff for regular java because I have no idea where to begin to alter the interface as I've never coded any regular java GUI. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

What is the URL format? If it's possible to change the hostname so that it points at our servers, and to set at least the first part of the path, I could see whether we can implement a custom URL parser for it (like we have for Potlatch). b 2009/12/23 Roy Wallace > On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 3:33 PM, Roy Wallace > wrote: > > On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 1:42 PM, John Smith > wrote: > >> > >> The problem I'm really trying to solve is with the slippymap plugin, > >> because it is compiled and the URL isn't easily setable/changeable by > >> a user, there is no options to tweak the URL in the plugin > >> interface/settings > > > > This isn't "easy", but you could try...going to the "Advanced > > Settings" tab, and add a "slippymap.custom_tile_source_1" as described > > at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/JOSM/Plugins/SlippyMap > > > > (note I haven't tested this myself) > > Ok, I tried this myself and it doesn't work, seemingly because the > slippymap plugin attempts to fetch tiles from /*/*/*.jpg, rather > than &z=&x=&y=&nml=Vert. > > Something like that.

I was hoping to be able to cache to hdd though, to reduce load on nearmap's server if you need to re-request the same tiles, and doing it this way may even reduce the memory needed since you only need to store tiles in memory that are displayed on screen, rather than holding unneeded tiles in memory. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
