Re: [Talk-ca] using image recognition to create building foot prints.

Hi Stewart Our automatic extraction process is based on airborne LiDAR point cloud and not on optical imagery or elevation raster derived from LiDAR. NRCAN doesn't have LiDAR over Toronto yet. I will try to spread the pre-production over urban and rural areas (ehre we have LiDAR of course). You

Re: [Talk-ca] BC2020i Mapathon Event

Rob Halkon, GIS Supervisor at the Durham Region, has approval to host an all-day mapathon event on March 29. The region has kindly offered to provide the venue with food. I attended the Toronto OSM Meetup last week and they suggested someone by the name of Richard might be able to help with the

Re: [Talk-ca] Manitoba buildings, addresses and high school work

Re: [Talk-ca] Manitoba buildings and data that high school students could add

Keith, I have had several conversations within this forum and offline about importing municipal building footprints into OSM for a mapathon event with students on March 29 in Durham Region. Based on advice from this and other OSM community member, we are holding off on importing building

Re: [Talk-ca] Manitoba buildings, addresses and high school work

Re: [Talk-ca] Manitoba buildings, addresses and high school work

Similar to does not mean the same unless it is the TB Open Data license but I suspect it predates that one. Given that Stats Canada has said it will make the data available through the Federal Government's Open Data portal real soon now I suspect that an email from the city even to yourself would

[Talk-ca] Manitoba buildings, addresses and high school work

Hi OSM'ers I am working on adding buildings to OSM in Manitoba and have a few questions. I was just offered an updated building footprint and address shape file from the City of Brandon, and agreement that it can be used in OSM. I understand that the license needs to be compliant with the OSMs
