Hi,
finally I got the process sorted out to generate a border from
natural=coastline, natural=reef and the baseline segments. The resulting
osm-file can be found at [1].
Using the dataset I also updated the picture from the post below to show
the differences [2]. It doesn't look that bad everywhere but especially
along the Queensland coast that's not the only place like this.
So no my question is how we should move on from here. I see different
options:
- Upload the dataset "as is"
- Try to get it better e.g. by
* manually by adding baseline segments (close bays, low water)
* do a more accurate buffer computation
* trace more reefs from Bing
* ...
- dump the idea and look for a better one
- ...
BTW this time I've taken notes so if anyone is interested I could share
the process I've used. The processing hasn't been too acurate given the
limitations of the data. Especially I used a buffer of 0.2 degrees
instead of exactly 12 nautical miles so the distance is always a bit too
short.
