Re: [HOT] Why the HOT obsession with low quality buildings in Africa ?

[HOT] Using AI for mapping from images

I confess that I have not looked closely at the mapping of satellite images, but I have been wondering if it is possible to accomplish much of the mapping using artificial intelligence and deep learning. Has this been looked into? Bryan Sayer ___

[HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pen tablet input device, ideally in ubuntu, to do the mapping for the missing maps? If so, can anyone recommend a specific tablet? Bryan Sayer ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org
