Hi, Just a reminder that there are still buildings left to trace in Tierralta for ICRC.
As Humberto Yances pointed out on talk-co, it is possible to do this with fewer clicks per building with the building_tools plugin for JOSM, which can be parametrized to enter directly these tags for houses: building = house source = ICRC, DigitalGlobe 120311 Best wishes, Jean-Guilhem Le 10/05/2012 13:17, Frédéric Bonifas a écrit : > Hi, > > (Sorry for writing in English on talk-co but I don't speak Spanish > unfortunately). > > == Context == > The ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) is looking for > some support from the HOT community to digitize on top of a satellite > image they have acquired over the city of Tierralta in North-West of > Colombia. > The image is 50 cm resolution, comes from the WV2 sensor (Digital > Globe) and was acquired the 12th of March 2011. > The ICRC will use the image and the OSM tracing to work on a Water and > Sanitation project. > > == What to map ? == > The ICRC is very interested in the landuse (buildings and natural > features), but the roads can of course also be mapped ! > > == How-to use the imagery ? == > To add the imagery in JOSM : > * Open the preferences and go to the WMS/TMS tab > * Click on the "+" at the bottom right to add the new imagery, a > dialog window opens > * At the top, give a name to the imagery, e.g. "Tierralta ICRC".
