Hi everybody, Due to fires in Russia, ScanEx company have set up live updating stream of satellite imagery from SPOT4 and Landsat satellites.
Now, they give OpenStreetMap users access to this stream. What they want in return is mapping of burnt areas with burnt=YYYY-MM-DD dates, taken from imagery metadata, probably with addition of landuse=forest/field. You may also map any other things you want from that imagery. To access it, you should go to http://fires.kosmosnimki.ru/ (only russian UI, unfortunately), select a satellite image you want to map, click it and copy the JOSM WMS URL to your josm or click the Potlatch link. The press-release about that or whatever it is called: http://blog.kosmosnimki.ru/2010/08/14/fires-openstreetmap/ A step-by-step instruction on how to map burnt places (in Russian, too): http://blog.latlon.org/2010/08/13/kak-risovat-pozhary/ A rather ugly GTranslate translation of it: http://tinyurl.com/39o4v6d Please spread it. PS: Hope it won't drown in licensing talks, like previous landsat announcement did. -- Darafei "Komяpa" Praliaskouski xmpp:m...@komzpa.net mailto:m...@komzpa.net _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
