Not yet useful. I tested both the silverlight and openlayers demo. I can't create a nice road trace both for straight grids and curvy baguio type roads. Since the algorithm depends on imagery color, I think tracing quality will depend on the image contrast, which varies for different areas.
It would be nice if the app can manipulate the base imagery like setting image contrast to highlight the roads before tracing. Once the basic code/api is released by Bing, I'm sure osm-geeks can develop the algorithm much better. ;) On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 8:40 AM, Eugene Alvin Villar <sea...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here's something somebody whipped up to play around with things: > http://maps.qualitystreetmap.org/bingtracing/ > > > On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 8:37 AM, George Tujan <gtu...@gmail.com> wrote: >> now that's pretty cool! >> >> On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 2:23 AM, Eugene Alvin Villar <sea...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >>> >>> See this blog post: >>> >>> http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/maps/archive/2011/02/03/automatically-detect-roads-with-bing-aerial-imagery.aspx >>> >>> And this YouTube video: >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR0WV2dGIRc >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> talk-ph mailing list >>> talk-ph@openstreetmap.org >>> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph >> >> > > > > -- > http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com > > _______________________________________________ > talk-ph mailing list > talk-ph@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph > -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
