Depending on how much time is passed since the post imagery was taken, there usually also happened "regular" construction/deconstruction work. Ok, new construction is easy: map the new objects. But probable deconstruction? I've seen many places where buildings disappeared (e.g. now a green empty place) and (often) a new building(s) show up (usually bigger) a few metres away (of course also considering possible misalignment of the imagery.) > Tents - I'm fairly certain that at least two of the buildings added > 12 hours ago are actually tents - they are on the site of old > buildings or nearby, but are a completely different outline.

Good point, may also use it. But I'm not sure these are always tent's it maybe also huts built with reused roof parts e.g. (corrugated) metal sheeting (the newer colored sheetings I know of are usually painted white on the back side). Maybe: building=temporary ? An the other hand there are some places where I'm not sure these "buildings" are temporary at all but more or less permanent !? boris _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
