Hi OpenStreetMap ZA, I've been able to get permission for OpenStreetMap to use the City of Cape Town's very high resolution 2015 aerial imagery (8cm). I collected a copy of the imagery last month.
It will be available in JOSM and iD in a few weeks time. In the mean time, here is a quick preview: http://coct.aerial.openstreetmap.org.za/ The imagery is expressly ONLY FOR OPENSTREETMAP USAGE. I would have preferred it be open to all, but wasn't able to negotiate this with CoCT. Note CoCT list the imagery on their Open Data portal: https://web1.capetown.gov.za/web1/OpenDataPortal/DatasetDetail?DatasetName=Aerial%20photography Due to continental drift and the conversion between Hartbeeshoek94 and WGS84 (as used by OSM) the imagery is *currently* around 66cm offset (2016 - 1994 = 22 years. Drift ~3cm per year). I am busy processing the imagery to correct this, hence the delay in getting it into OSM editors. Kind regards, Grant _______________________________________________ Talk-ZA mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-za
