Hi mappers, We’ve polished our visualization of the need for OpenStreetMap data, and its quality. We’ve been building Disaster.Ninja tool to assist HOT in their activation process, but believe it’s also useful for the general mapping community.
Kontur OpenStreetMap Antiquity layer lets you see where people look at the map tiles versus when the map was last edited. Good way to see undermapped regions that are explored by the users in search of data. We base the layer on tile views information, thanks Operations Working group for making it available for such analysis. https://disaster.ninja/live/#position=7.92,45.59;zoom=4.4;overlays=bivariate-custom_kontur_openstreetmap_antiquity Kontur OpenStreetMap Building Quantity is now pointing to a lot more missed buildings. This became possible thanks to Copernicus releasing a high resolution global landcover classification raster, and Microsoft providing the computer vision detected buildings for Canada, USA, Uganda and Tanzania. Look at the gaps here: https://disaster.ninja/live/#position=-75.17,40.144086257217054;zoom=8.56;overlays=bivariate-custom_kontur_openstreetmap_building_quantity I know this layer was used to plan some mapping parties in Ukraine already. Check out the other layers if you haven’t seen them, too. :) To support this visualization we combined all the available public datasets (Facebook Population, OpenStreetMap, Microsoft buildings, Copernicus) into a single world population dataset. If you need it for your analysis, get it here: https://data.humdata.org/dataset/kontur-population-dataset Hope to hear your thoughts on this update.
