Re: [HOT] Fwd: [OpenStreetMap] Alternative imagery project 2102

Ooh, sorry to jump to conclusions. It looked like a straightforward problem at first glance. We've had similar challenges, where cloudy spots are mapped with different imagery. Not only was there considerable change on the ground, but also it was impossible to align the pictures because of the

Maybe adopt the healthsites.io (or ushahidi) model, where functionality for verification by trusted people is added on top and outside the openstreetmap database. Op 7 nov. 2016 5:39 p.m. schreef "Pierre Béland" : > Hi Denis > > In the context of Humanitarian Responses, there

Re: [HOT] Surveying Helicopter Landing Zones (HLZs)

Hi Denis In the context of Humanitarian Responses, there are various situations were we have specific requests. We accepted for the Nepal response to spot eventual helicopter landing zones. We did setup a Skype room to discuss with people with experience with helicopters.  Often in the context

Re: [HOT] Surveying Helicopter Landing Zones (HLZs)

I agree with John, this type of data needs to be collected from a trusted source, reliable, consistent & complete (nation wide coverage). The encryption with public & private key might be a bit too much, but as long as the data can be used in an offline environment via a mobile application.

Re: [HOT] Surveying Helicopter Landing Zones (HLZs)

I think there is a slight problem in that for operational use you need a trusted source and HOT as it stands with new mappers using iD isn't really that. I would suggest that one way to make it a little more bullet proof would be to include a tag, website perhaps that pointed to a read only web

Re: [HOT] Surveying Helicopter Landing Zones (HLZs)

During the Nepal earthquake relief effort, mapping HLZs (Helicopter Landing Zones) did not seem very coordinated, many factors need to be taken into consideration to properly define a HLZ. I can confirm that very little of the OpenStreetMap HLZ data was not used for any mission planning by any

Re: [HOT] Surveying Helicopter Landing Zones (HLZs)

Hi Keith, I worked a lot on this issue during the Nepal 2015 response. What you propose sounds great. We had a lot of difficulty trying to do this via the tasking manager for several reasons. I would love to speak with you more about it, maybe we could chat via skype. Cheers, Blake

Re: [HOT] Fwd: [OpenStreetMap] Alternative imagery project 2102

Hi Joost, Mike, Daniel, Joost is of course correct. In looking at the project in the TM, it is not clear which imagery should be preferred for mapping, it might be on purpose the other imagery is not in the imagery field. I sent an email via OSM to the project creator to see if we can clarify

Re: [HOT] Fwd: [OpenStreetMap] Alternative imagery project 2102

That shouldn't be necessary though. When you set up a task in the tasking manager, there is a tab to set the background imagery. Doing this ensures the custom imagery is loaded as default in ID. I don't know who managed the task, but they should be informed that this is a really useful thing to

Hi Milo - yes, there are a few videos that are not online yet. We’re waiting for those videos to be finalized by the video production company. They should be online this week. Nate Nate Smith @nas_smith On November 7, 2016 at 9:07:57 AM, Milo van der Linden

[HOT] Videos online

Yesterday, in weeklyosm, I read that the videos from the summit are online. I am however still missing the video from my talk. Any estimate on when all videos will be available? Kind regards, Milo ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org
