Re: [HOT] unknown structures are buildings?

Hi, I will get those pages finished up in the next week or so. From the conversation here I see I need to add in something about the buildings with no roofs and maybe something about fences. Any additional recommendations or feedback on the existing items is welcome. Cheers, Blake On 11/4

Re: [HOT] unknown structures are buildings?

Hi Ian, I found this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot/West_African_HOT_Mapping_Tips that is created by BGirardot that provides good tips helping to understand the context for mapping West Africa in terms of features. As an uninitiated HOT mappers I would need more of these.

Re: [HOT] unknown structures are buildings?

I agree wholeheartedly with Ray. It would be very helpful to have a page of examples of W. Africa satellite imagery showing, 1) buildings that are often overlooked by mappers, especially the less experienced ones, because they may not look like buildings to the uninitiated, and; 2) things that are

Hi Ray, Sorry, I didn't explain much myself neither. I meant that that page (crop=cassava) is still empty (apart from the cassava picture from the ground) and I think it would be interesting to have examples from sat imagery on how to recognize those crops from above. Blake Girardot actually start

Re: [HOT] unknown structures are buildings?

Hi Ray, For cassava, you could add something on the following page I guess: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:crop%3Dcassava If you intend to use a screenshot of imagery, make sure you keep the copyright visible. We got permissions to do so from MapBox, HIU and Bing, for traini

Re: [HOT] unknown structures are buildings?

I suspect they are fenced areas for cattle or cattle pens. In Cameroon I've been using the JOSM building tool to map them then changing the tags to barrier=wall. Contact with a mapper on the ground would help enormously with these sort of structures. Cheerio John On 3 November 2014 19:41, Warre

To me, it looks like building=construction (the dividing walls are visible). Nearly the same as what I've seen on the ground in Malawi, Africa. If you're unsure, just tag it as building=yes. On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 8:41 AM, Warren Roberts wrote: > > Does anyone have an idea if these are walls fo
