Re: [talk-ph] imagery alignment in Leyte

[Ervin Malicdem]

Hi Dan,

As I observed (I particularly checked Alang-alang), Bing and DG Std are
almost aligned however DG Prm seems to be aligned with the existing raw GPS
better than Bing and DG Std.

[talk-ph] imagery alignment in Leyte

[Dan Joseph]

Hi,

The Philippine Red Cross and American Red Cross recently collected drone
imagery in 23 barangays in Leyte Province. We've made the image sets
available for download[1] and are working to process and upload the
orthomosiacs to OpenAerialMap. We don't have ground control points
collected in the field. We are planning on using satellite imagery to
slightly adjust the imagery alignment. The Digital Globe imagery is newer
and seems to be of higher quality than Bing but the two do not line up.
Does the OSM-PH community have opinion(s) about whether we should adjust to
match Bing and the existing OSM data or align to the DG standard imagery
and update the OSM data accordingly?

Salamat po and all the best,
Dan Joseph

Re: [talk-ph] When to use"Saint" or "St." in place names

[Jim Morgan]

Just to flag a related issue, the search engine of OSM doesn't seem 'smart' in 
that it doesn't know that 'St.' and 'Saint' are equivalent (or 'St.' and 
'Street' for that matter!). So when you're searching for Santa Ana, but its in 
the database as Sta. Ana, it won't be found. So yes, it is important to 
standardize on something. Or make the search engine a bit smarter! Actually the 
second option sounds better ... but I don't know how to do that.
