[Talk-GB] Possible use of OS triangulation stations to determine aerial imagery offset

2016-08-16 Thread Greg
Dear all, Ordnance Survey has a database of triangulation stations and their precise locations as OSGB36 (National Grid) co-ordinates publicly available here: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/gps/legacy-control-information/triangulation-stations. There is also a FOI request with a full CSV file he

Thanks David. I have contacted OS using the contact form on their website in the hope that they may publish the data under the OGL. I think it would be helpful in accurately determining imagery offset. Thanks, Greg. On Tue, Aug 16, 2016, at 09:00 PM, David Woolley wrote: > On 16/08/16 15:22, Gre

I'm pleased to say that I have had confirmation from Ordnance Survey that their triangulation station data can be used under the Open Government Licence v3. I have documented this on the wiki: [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Gregrs/Ordnance_Survey_triangulation_stations]. I will try to lo

Hi all, Since my last email, I've analysed the relationship between the OS triangulation station data and OSM 'man_made=survey_point's in Great Britain. You can read about this on my wiki page [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Gregrs/Ordnance_Survey_triangulation_stations]. I believe it may

Could you clarify if by merge/import you mean it to be performed manually or programmatically? Personally I think manually is the way to go, possibly as a Quarterly Project asimilar to the schools update. Local knowledge will definitely produce more accurate results. I'd use P2's Task to save

Hi Dave F, I haven’t thought too much about the process at this stage, but I was imagining it would be done mostly programatically as there are 21,000+ (non-destroyed) stations. However, I was anticipating that there would have to be at least some manual intervention to decide whether OS trig
