Re: [HOT] #777 Hi-res imagery for Cameroon (was Mapping Northern Nigeria ?)

Hi Kevin, many thanks for responding. A big thanks for tasking for more imagery as well .. So .. I guess to answer what I understand to be the question, all available HiRes imagery is published already on the MapBox Layer and has a license to trace for OSM, in Cameroon, provided that an attributio

Re: [HOT] #777 Hi-res imagery for Cameroon (was Mapping Northern Nigeria ?)

Hi - speaking for DG here, we published all cloud-free high res imagery available for Cameroon. For the gaps in coverage, we are tasking satellites. Note that task #777 is only Est province but most of the entire country is covered. Our goal is to create follow-on tasks for the other provinces.

Re: [HOT] #777 Hi-res imagery for Cameroon (was Mapping Northern Nigeria ?)

Hi John, yep, that was my understanding on the overview.. The next step is to analyze the overview and create tasks that will pick out the population areas for detailed mapping. The cloud cover, unfortunately is there to stay unless DG get additional imagery .. and make it available. If we are re

Blake, sorry, that should have read This task has had a LOT of activity" The TMS Url has been removed form the project, not by me. I will see if I can find it again .. I guess someone edited it .. The followup for this task was to identify specific areas based on #777 then map the buildings, etc.

Hi, I was just about to send an email to the imagery coordination team and see if I can find out the status of this imagery. Jorieke is heading into the field so she is going to have limited time and access to help with this. But I will for sure report back what I find out. Cheers, Blake

Hi all: There has been an active mapping effort in North Nigeria since March last year, both mapping with imagery (mainly roads and streets) and data imports [1] from eHealth Africa [2] data. Data imported includes boundaries (at ward level - highest) for the 10 northernmost states, residential ar

Hi Jorieke, I noticed a few buildings already mapped, like the ones in your powerpoint slide showing "significant" buildings, often with brightly colored roofs (blue, red, etc). And they had roof:colour=* tags on them already in OSM. Do you think those would help? It might help people find t
