Hi Pierre and all,

Thanks for looking at the data and sharing your thoughts!
I’ve talked through the proposal with Claire from the OSM DRC community on a 
few calls and included this feedback in the proposal. Eg to include links to 
the import to the wiki page of OSM DRC, the conflation of data or not, etc. And 
of course also our MSF team in Ituri is requesting to have this data in OSM, 
mostly to use it on OsmAnd, so you could see them as well as local community I 
discussed with. But yes, there hasn’t been that much discussion on the DRC 
mailing list or here, hence I was asking you all for some more feedback. So 
thanks!!

The original imagery is with Z_gis at Salzburg University and not available for 
us to use.
The buildings retrieved from the imagery are extracted automatically, but all 
received a manual treatment from the team at Z_gis. This means that all 
buildings are very nicely squared or circulized. There are few issues with 
buildings touching each other or slightly overlapping each other, but the plan 
is to filter these out with a manual validation through JOSM.
We’re still working on the smaller chunks of data. If there would be someone 
here who could tell me how to do that easily in Qgis, I’d be happy to hear 
that! Otherwise I have to wait for one of my colleagues to share this with you…

Best, Jorieke

Hi Jorieke,

There was no detailed examination of the data quality on the OSM DRC mailing 
list.  What is the image quality and what is the quality of buildings 
automatically traced from this imagery ? Are they orthogonalized or not ?

We only have access to a DropBox directory to download shapefiles and no access 
to the imagery used to trace the buildings.

I suggest that you provide link to the imagery and access to smaller chunks of 
data in OSM format has it is planned to be used for the import.

Regard

Pierre

Dear all,

If you would have other suggestions or feedback, please let me know. Otherwise 
we’ll go ahead with the preparation of the import and we’ll start with it after 
the weekend.

Best wishes,

Jorieke

Subject: [Imports] Import building footprints Lopa & Lingo



Dear import list,



We would love to import a dataset of building footprints in Lopa and Lingo in 
the Ituri province in the East of DRC. It concerns a dataset of 29,620 building 
footprints, detected automatically by our partner Salzburg University on 
imagery of January 2020. We have tried to write an import plan as good as we 
could, so are now also interested to hear your feedback.



Please find the wiki page here: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lopa_%26_Lingo_building_footprints

And the direct link to the raw data here: 
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vp6sffkmkcrc51t/AABc4d2uM4XaqGzdTVYgtBpfa?dl=0



I have shared and discussed the proposal already with the OpenStreetMap DRC 
community. For the discussion on the OSM DRC mailinglist see here: 
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-cd/2020-July/thread.html

At the OSM DRC mailing list was suggested to add the source tags on the object 
itself since there will be happening another import in the area. Could someone 
have a closer look at them, is the proposed usage of them a right one?



Thanks a lot!



Jorieke
