Right, this would be an outcome from OSM point of view. From CNES point of view, they wish to see whether this could be a way to improve their SPOT 5 mosaic covering Haiti, for this Kal-Haiti project (of scientific data and images for Haiti), to use it as a background on which to later position other images or objects. For CNES, it is mainly for internal use for the project and its participants, for scientific and institutional use. > > And that would be available for OSM usage under the linked license? > And could then be used if for nothing else but aligning Bing (or > other) imagery -- if this imagery can be aligned well enough... Right, this SPOT imagery would be available under the linked license. An extension/adaptation of this licence to other sensors used in the Kal-Haiti project (Pleiades, FormoSat, EnviSat, TerraSAR-X) has been requested and is being considered. And you are right also, that where Bing imagery is available, it is of course much easier to trace from it. But it is not always well aligned. Note also that a side product of this project should be to have at least some GPS tracks in areas of Haiti where there is currently none. > > This should good to me as even with the newest addition to Bing > coverage we are missing some areas there -- and there are clear > problems with the aligning of the Bing imagery. > Yes. > Now, for the "alingment points".

Actually they were given to Fred and me in .kml and .csv formats, and I converted them to .vrt and shapefile for viewing them in QGis (before updating my GEarth). I still have to make them available, along with some other info about the project, at least to those who will have expressed their interest (as you of course just did). > > So, pls let me know how I can help -- or put me in contact with the > person/people doing this excersice.
