Re: [HOT] Using AI for mapping from images

Indeed it has, both in general and specific to OSM https://developmentseed.org/blog/2017/01/30/machine-learning-learnings/ https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AI-Assisted_Road_Tracing The consensus seems to be 'AI assisted'; rather than '100% AI' is better On Mon, 16 Apr. 2018, 12:37 pm

Re: [HOT] Mapping buildings

I tend to use osmose to detect 'large building intersection clusters' at a very large scale - IE during the Nepal activation. Others that show up building-in-building or 'special building due to size marked building=yes' are also useful QA checks, often catching whole residential areas marked as a

Re: [HOT] Activation. floods in Peru

One possible thing that is a little different to some past activations is the availability of gps data via improve-osm.org - it might be worth checking that against flood affected areas to see if it highlights missing roads well. Additionally, strava's GPS 'slide' tool built into ID may allow

Re: [HOT] Editing with ID query

Network errors or the underlying API can cause this to occur. It's not *too* frequent, and you pick it up easily with QA tools. More interesting is the mappers at the borders of tiles - they don't realise someone else is mapping near by and doubled buildings occur. Examples:

Re: [HOT] TomNod integration for the next time around

I don't really understand what TomNod does It's a giant slippy map loading newer imagery and asking for simple tagging. As you scroll it marks tiles as reviewed. High overlap with the purpose of the tasking manager in building tracing then updating those with appropriate damage tags; ditto road

Hi all, So a few days ago there was a thread about Skybox for good, and explicit permission to use the imagery for tracing, provided attribution was done. * Is there a TMS/WMS type URL for looking at any of it?* Assume so. Just asked them, and they're researching if they'll advertise it.

Hi, Andrew called for a few suggestions for other useful areas to map, beyond just Tacloban; which is likely to become increasingly well mapped in the next few days. Reading articles like http://www.rappler.com/nation/43285-initial-reports-damage-tacloban-city suggest Guiuan might be worth a
