Hello all, Some colleagues at the UVM Spatial Analysis Lab have offered to submit features to OSM that are derived from their high-res (1 meter) LULC analyses at locations throughout the U.S. and around Toronto (locations here: http://g.co/maps/h9qfx). Their work was primarily intended to map urban tree canopy, but they've captured various impervious surfaces as well, including excellent building footprints.
Here's an example near UMD of current OSM coverage vs. UVM-SAL coverage: http://flic.kr/p/bseokW Unless there is a tremendous need for tree canopy coverage in OSM, I think it would be most useful to add just buildings, and possibly parking, both of which are separable feature-by-feature. I'd be happy to screen the imports for conflicts with existing OSM features, and to bias toward those existing features in all cases. Given that this is an import of several thousand features, what is the best way to proceed? Thanks for your help, in any case! -Bill Morris OSM user vtcraghead ---------- William Morris Cartographer (802)-870-0880 [email protected] Twitter: @vtcraghead GeoSprocket LLC, Burlington VT www.geosprocket.com _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
