A cartographer needs to decided which features should appear at which scale on the map.\n\nOpenStreetMap based web maps are usually products of rule-based cartography, a computer programme selecting features from a data store and rendering them. It needs rules. If all the features of a feature class are of similar importance, the selection is simple. If not, ranks or attributes to be used for ranking are required. Ranks are assigned to roads as values of the `highway=*` tag, rankable attributes are available as `population=*` tags in OpenStreetMap. \nIn some cases some features of a feature class are of high importance but many other features of that class are irrelevant at medium or lower scales.\n\nFor example, a map on a medium scale cannot show all stations or all airports in a country. Some airports are only used by a few flights per day, others are not even public. Some train stations have dozens of trains per hours while others get served only few times per week or are used by a dozen passengers per week.

This is one of the most time and cost effective methods to collect geospatial data, but the required equipment can be expensive. An alternative approach to mobile mapping brings the opportunity to the OpenStreetMap community to \"Map in 360\" using a wide range of consumer devices compatible with Mapillary. Instead of capturing a frame of street-level imagery in a single direction, a 360\u00ba camera can capture the entire scene simultaneously. 360\u00ba street-level imagery provides the OpenStreetMap community a more comprehensive understanding of the map space and more accurate machine-generated map data. In this talk, we will review the workflow of data collection with 360\u00ba cameras, look at how to upload 360 street-level images to Mapillary, and compare the impact of different 360\u00ba camera models in terms of map data extraction accuracy. OpenStreetMap communities can use this knowledge to coordinate their own street-level imagery collection with 360\u00ba cameras to contribute to Mapillary and improve local maps.", "description": "Mobile mapping is the process of collecting geospatial data from a mobile vehicle using a 360\u00ba camera, laser scanner, GPS/IMU positioning system, and other sensors. Mobile mapping is a time and cost-effective way to conduct asset inventory, monitor road infrastructure, and map street furniture. However, the high cost of acquiring mobile mapping equipment, such as professional 360\u00b0 cameras and laser scanners, inhibit the ability of local OpenStreetMap communities to leverage mobile mapping technologies. With advice from Mapillary, low-cost devices that are accessible to communities make mobile mapping possible on a wider scale.\n\n360\u00ba cameras may be used in different vehicle types: cars, bicycles, quad bikes and also on foot. With a 360\u00ba field of view, these cameras capture everything around the sphere. Where flat frame images can limit the map editing workflow, 360\u00ba images bring panoramic viewing to OpenStreetMap editors for a more comprehensive understanding of the space and place. The Mapillary photo overlay supports panorama view on OSM ID Editor and JOSM.\n\nAfter images have been captured and uploaded to the web, Mapillary creates a reconstruction of the scene in 3D using an open-source Structure from Motion library (OpenSfM). This helps to improve the image GPS positions, based on the overall consistency of the 3D scene. Next, the objects in the imagery (such as traffic signs and other types of objects) are identified by computer vision. Combining detections of an object in several images and the aforementioned 3D model allows us to calculate the position of the detected object in the world. \n\nOverall, this talk will examine the recommended 360\u00ba cameras, discuss data collection and benefit of street-level imagery collection with 360\u00ba cameras, review strategies for uploading 360\u00ba images, comparing different 360\u00ba camera models, and highlight how OpenStreetMap communities around the world are using 360\u00ba images to improve local maps with Mapillary.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "BZDSBG", "name": "Said Turksever", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/BZDSBG_3PtOvVx.webp", "biography": "Said Turksever, Community Operation Manager at Mapillary\nSaid is the Community Operation Manager, the street-level imagery platform that scales and automates mapping using collaboration, cameras, and computer vision.

Could be highly trained staff members or volunteers.\n\nIt would sound simple. However, it is possible to find challenges in difficult places. For instance, how to crowdsource precise locations and specific attributes of every school in Barranquilla, Colombia? Because some locations are inaccessible, it becomes difficult and costly to deploy people to the area to collect and validate the data. Many tools have been developed to address these challenges remotely, like OpenMapKit and Maps.me to collect data and do some quality assurance with JOSM, for instance. Despite this, these tools do not have the property to monitor specific features/attributes, define current status of the mapping campaign, or validate people contributing in an area.\n\nPutting these challenges in mind, HOT designed the MapCampaigner tool. Users can track and measure the quality of many features such as schools, buildings and cafes at the same time. This mapping campaign will report users involved, missing tags, and percentage of completeness in an area for each attribute collected. Also, MapCampaigner has integrations with apps such as Maps.me and OpenMapKit\n\nIn this talk, I will walk through the tool, how it is used, and seek input for enhancements.

The longer duration of mapping, the better validator they would become.

The solution included a. Mobile field survey and mapping tool b. Map editor for post production and drawing c. Map viewer d. Map printing e. various intermediate data processing and conversion tools. Complete tool chain was designed and field tested. KSEB used our approach to map 11Kv electric poles of distribution department. This covered around 14 Lakhs electric poles. The original cost estimate for the work by KSEB using traditional approach and proprietary systems was around Rs 200 crores. Technological solution developed by ICFOSS will dramatically reduce cost of mapping and lead to substantial saving of public exchequer. The benefit through utilisation of the map data like electricity loss minimisation and quality improvement is also to be noted. For the original price, work would not have happened. The entire process was based on technologies and standards around\nOpenStreetMap.\n##### Participatory mapping of Govt. Offices\nGovernment of Kerala aims to build a spatial database of whole Kerala based on OpenStreetMap. A participatory model was planned for the field survey and the execution was planned in different phases; Government Institutions mapping, Road and Waterways mapping, etc. As preliminary phase, govt. Offices mapping was done by developing an HTML5 based Laravel web application. And this will be later on validated and uploaded to OSM.\n##### Route analysis for Govt. Fiber Optic Network\nA dedicated Optic Fibre Network (Kerala state Fibre Optic Network) connecting 30000 of Government Institutions including schools and other departments was planned. Substations of KSEB (Kerala State Electricity Board) across the state were chosen to create the backbone network installing PoPs (Point of Presence) at each substation. As part of the planning phase, total length of fibre cable required was to be found. Based on GIS based routing techniques and derived methodologies, cluster of networks and total length estimate were identified.\n##### Canal digitisation within 42 sq.km. paddy area\nGovernment of Kerala aims to map canal system within Thrissur Kole Wetlands an area of around 4300 hectares to measure total water holding capacity of the system. A drone based aerial survey model was planned for the data collection and further digitisation and volume measurements were done using OpenDroneMap and OpenStreetMap based toolchain.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "9TRSWW", "name": "Asish Abraham Joseph", "avatar": null, "biography": "A Free Software Web developer turned FOSSGIS enthusiast, Research Assistant turned entrepreneur previously worked with ICFOSS, and now with SPACE-Kerala and Computing Freedom Collective Pvt Ltd.", "public_name": "Asish Abraham Joseph", "guid": "619edde5-ac1e-5ca1-bbbe-e661bf337bfb", "url": "https://pretalx.com/sotm2020/speaker/9TRSWW/"}], "links": [], "feedback_url": "https://pretalx.com/sotm2020/talk/3DMDQK/feedback/", "origin_url": "https://pretalx.com/sotm2020/talk/3DMDQK/", "attachments": []}, {"guid": "9d22d3c1-dd5e-5b88-9cc7-192d9d538de4", "code": "DZ8PWQ", "id": 3808, "logo": "https://pretalx.com/media/sotm2020/submissions/DZ8PWQ/map2_dOi6hKf.JPG", "date": "2020-07-04T13:00:00+00:00", "start": "13:00", "end": "2020-07-04T13:20:00+00:00", "duration": "00:20", "room": "Track 2", "slug": "sotm2020-3808-building-mapping-communities-in-rural-tanzania-challenges-successes-and-lessons-learnt", "url": "https://pretalx.com/sotm2020/talk/DZ8PWQ/", "title": "Building mapping communities in rural Tanzania \u2013 challenges, successes and lessons learnt", "subtitle": "", "track": "Community and Foundation", "type": "Talk", "language": "en", "abstract": "Crowd2Map Tanzania is a volunteer run crowdsourced project that has been mapping rural Tanzania since 2015.

The project also enabled citizens to track the progress and quality of those projects, allowing them to hold the government accountable for delivering what had been promised during the budgeting sessions. The results of the mapping are displayed on a dedicated website and printed maps for budgeting sessions, which often take place in rural villages.\n\nThe project has been able to:\n1. Visualize existing and/or new government-funded (county and national level) development projects which will enable the counties to know which projects have been completed, which are in progress and the projects that are pending. \n2. Perform a needs assessment analysis through the Participatory Budget meetings where the counties engage the citizens and together determine the distributions of the projects.\n3. Assist citizens to monitor progress of projects and hold the government accountable for delivering on its promises.\n4. Transfer knowledge of mapping in OSM to county government representatives directly, in offices of M&E, GIS, ICT, and Budgeting.\n\nUsing OpenStreetMap and sharing the data with the counties is a huge milestone for Map Kibera as this will encourage more institutions and people using OpenStreetMap within both communities and county government.

To improve resilience and preparedness, we need to estimate the risk of earthquakes with the greatest possible detail. For this, exposure models are used that translate the physical earthquake hazard to building damage, human and financial losses. The level of detail in the risk model directly depends on the level of detail in the exposure model. So far, exposure models are usually described as aggregated building-type descriptions for larger geographic areas, from city districts to even larger administrative units.\n\nWe present our new open, dynamic, and global exposure model based on OpenStreetMap that does not stop at administrative boundaries but rather attempts to classify and describe every building on Earth with the greatest level of detail. Our open-source model extracts all possible exposure indicators, i.e. footprint shape, number of stories, occupancy type, shape of the roof, etc. and combines the OpenStreetMap data with other open datasets if available. Using these indicators, the model assesses in a probabilistic way the possible building classes, the number of people inside the building depending on the time and day, and the reconstruction value. In areas with incomplete building coverage, the classical aggregate-based exposure models are combined with our model to deliver a probabilistic description of the entire building stock. To achieve a better spatial distribution of buildings in areas of incomplete coverage, we estimate the likely locations of buildings through remote sensing using again open data only, mainly Sentinel-I radar data.

Around the globe, cities have been designed for cars rather than pedestrians, resulting in enormous costs to the environment, the economy, and even the social fabric of our communities. In the face of the climate crisis, there is an urgent need to build cities that are sustainable and inclusive. Responding to that need, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy has released Pedestrians First, a tool that supports planners and decision-makers by using OSM to measure what matters for walkability in cities.\n\nThis talk will describe what makes a city walkable, discuss the experience of using OSM to measure walkability, and explore possibilities for improving that measurement in the future.\n\nBecause the experience of walking is so natural, it is easy to assume that planning walkable cities is equally simple. That is far from the case. To be walkable, a city must prioritize pedestrians not only in urban design but also in land use and transportation planning. Some factors, like sidewalk quality, matter at the small scale, the level of the street or the city block. Other factors matter at the level of the neighborhood, such as the proximity of destinations, and still others are at the level of the entire city, like the ability of a public transit system to move pedestrians from one neighborhood to another. \n\nWe have found OpenStreetMap an invaluable tool in identifying and measuring the most important elements of walkability. Certain aspects of the OSM data model have been critical to the success of the project, especially its emphasis on representing connectivity, its typology of streets, and its relative uniformity around the world. However, other aspects have been challenging to work with, and prevent us from measuring other important indicators of pedestrian-friendliness. For example, it is still difficult to clearly represent the presence and quality of sidewalks in OSM and assessing the safety of street crossings remains a pressing concern.\n\nThere are many opportunities to expand Pedestrians First. We are exploring possibilities that include computer vision to identify street assets, integration of traffic data, and measurement of multimodal access to opportunities. We hope to join conversations about how best to implement such approaches within the OpenStreetMap community. \n\nWith offices in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, and the United States, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy has advocated for sustainable urban transport since 1985.

Trademark law is often conflated with other types of intellectual property law and the scope of trademark rights is not well-understood.  In addition, the LWG sometimes fields questions from OSM users or groups on how to use the Trademark Policy and forms and templates mentioned in the policy. This talk will go over some common questions and give the audience a chance to ask more.   \n\nOutline for the talk:\n\nTrademarks 101:\n\nWhat is a trademark?
