A few GSoC students have made proposals relating to video and photo mapping. As I make good use of photos from my car for mapping I thought I'd prepare a set of annotate photos, pointing out objects that I map.
I've finished these and placed them at http://pnorman.dev.openstreetmap.org/photomapping/example_photomap_highway.z ip The zip file includes the images, the GPX track and some notes. The image files have coloured rectangles indicating different objects with the key in the notes. The trip is a mix of residential, industrial and highway travel. Most of the time spent entering the data from this trip would normally be typing out the tagging for POIs and shops. My typical trip involves much less highway travel and much more travel through retail and commercial landuse where I can spend a couple minutes with one picture adding all the shops. The photos were taken 10 seconds apart from a camera mounted in about the middle-right of my car and my GPX track comes from my garmin. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
