I've finally (after 8 months) got around to looking at the OpenMap Local buildings. I needed them for something else which caused me to download the SK data. I'll say more in a blog post, but for now here are two comparisons of OpenMap Local buildings with EA Lidar data (DSM-DTM & Z axis accentuated):
- Central Newark (note parish church bottom left): https://flic.kr/p/ARUvRv - Residential area to E of town centre (note terraces): https://flic.kr/p/ARUvQP I've also put a few comparisons of Nottingham between OSM & OpenMap buildings. Generally I'd say that the OpenMap Local buildings, although better than VMD, still have some of the same problems, and particularly that very similar buildings (such as the terraced houses) may be shown differently, or that discrete buildings are merged in unpredictable ways. It's also a bit disappointing that the main medieval building, the parish church is just shown as a box. The Lidar data looks to have more promise as a base line for creating buildings. There may be scope to use the OpenMap Local buildings on a case-by-case basis where these clearly match the Lidar/Aerial imagery, or where the building shape is obviously simplified & can be improved (parish church again). I would advise not touching things like most of the housing and the merged buildings in the central retail areas. My experience with working with such data is that splitting & refining such buildings is often a lot more work than drawing them from scratch. I have Geotiffs for the DTM, DSM, their difference & hillshaded versions of the DSM & difference. However I have failed to get these to load in JOSM. If someone else know the trick do let me know.
