Re: [Talk-in] Id editor on Bhuvan

2015-05-26 Thread Shekhar Krishnan



Well, the foundation does exist.
Does this mean everyone creates an account on Bhuvan before starting
to trace in OpenStreetMap? I'm still not clear how this could work.
Might make sense to ask others. Paul, Mikel - do you have thoughts?



Would be good to know what Paul and Mikel think here.

It seems a question of what is public domain, not just according to 
OSM but also per Indian law. Apart from the discussions on Bing and the 
License Working Group, this is the only statement I find on the OSM wiki:


https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ#2._Contributing




Hmm, 20 tiles a day is not going to work. This is going to be high
traffic. And it does require reliable infrastructure. Worthwhile to
consider how we can support Bhuvan on this.
Also, few imagery are not in web mercator, those will have to be reprojected.


Yes, agreed, the 20 per day limit I see is not just for GeoTIFF 
downloads but also for the tile service.


There could perhaps then be a role for HBCSE-TIFR here as a  educational 
institution, and government client able to redistribute and serve 
high-availability imagery for scientific and developmental purposes to 
the OSM community.


The fact that Bhuvan is already using ID, tilecache, etc. is the opening 
I believe Nagarjuna was looking for when he initiated this thread.


We are ready to approach NSRC and ISRO via TIFR to support using Bhuvan 
for OSM mapping, if folks here can advise on what we should ask for. 
We're also approaching them for raw data which we're using for image 
processing and analysis at HBCSE.

Nice, I finally poked at this. For those on list who don't know tiles 
URL syntax, you can drop this URL into ID and it works great!


http://tile1.nrsc.gov.in/tilecache/tilecache.py/1.0.0/bhuvan_imagery2/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg

The subdomain prefix tile1 can be replaced with tile2, 3, 4 (I 
guess these are backup servers?)

Hey Shekhar -

Can we get more clarity on the license before we start using this please?
Again, we need it in writing that this is public domain or usable for
tracing in OpenStreetMap.

We cannot use it otherwise.

[Talk-in] Id editor on Bhuvan

2015-05-15 Thread GN
We checked Bhuvan today to get some idea.  We found that they also use
Id editor for community contributions. 

We are trying to get the high resolution satellite maps from ISRO for
school and college mapping projects that we are currently doing. 

If openstreetmap.in would like to get the satellite maps from
Bhuvan/ISRO, what do we need from them?  Do they have an API to pull
them as background maps?  We may need them mostly while editing.  Since
Id editor is already used by them, I am wondering they may already be
using OSM software stack. 

Was there any history of osm community seeking data from ISRO?

suggestions and tips welcome!

Dear GN,

This is interesting. I couldn't find though. Can you share a
screenshot? This is particularly interesting for some of us who are
working to make OpenStreetMap software available for outside the
ecosystem.

Couple of things to keep in mind here -

1. We'd need open licensing, or it should say that tracing for
OpenStreetMap is permitted.
2. The layers should be in Web Mercator projection. There are quite a
few Bhuvan layers that are not.

Recently, we got in touch with ISRO for high resolution post
earthquake imagery for Nepal. They shared the raw data and some of us
at Mapbox processed it to make it available on OpenStreetMap -
