okansas.blogspot.com Occassional thoughts about orienteering |
Saturday, December 26, 2009 Beginning to learn about open mapping projectsI've been thinking it'd be fun to try to make a park map without setting foot in the terrain. I've got easy access to lidar data to create a good base map. I could use local government air photos (which are accessible online) and do some spot field checking with Google street view. I've no idea how good a map I could create, but I thought it would be a fun experiment.Another interesting no-specific-field-checking-required approach is the OpenOrienteeringMap. My understanding is that OOM pulls data from OpenStreetMap and creates a view of the data as either a simplified street orienteering map or a map that looks a bit like a real orienteering map. Playing around with OpenOrienteeringMap inspired me to learn a bit about OpenStreetMap. That's been on my "list of things to do" for a year or so. I finally spent some time reading about it. OpenStreetMap has a decent street map of Lawrence: View Larger Map But, the Lawrence map is very sparse in detail. Some other areas have much better detail. Check out the Sanford campus in Palo Alto: View Larger Map I'm a bit surprised that Lawrence doesn't have much detail in the OpenStreetMap. The University of Kansas campus has a few names and streets, but nothing in the way of detail. The Haskell Indian Nations University is just as empty. It might be fun to remedy that lack of detail in Lawrence. So, I created an account at OpenStreetMap and added a couple of features as a way of learning a bit about the process and editing. There is something satisfying about making an edit and seeing the change. I really need to learn a lot more about it and make a dent into the lack of information on the Lawrence map.

MKG, for the areas around where I live, I can download the data from:
http://www.kansasgis.org/catalog/catalog.cfm The lidar data around here was collected through a government contract and is available for free. Info about my experiments with the data (keep in mind that I'm not very knowledgable about computers) is at: http://okansas.blogspot.com/search?q=lidar
Any nice datas. How you collected informations about lidar mapping? The power of GIS can not be underestimated and easily understood such that every sector has come to embrace it. The GIS is our future,hence it is necessary to study by students and analyze information and data.

Super S9 Game is a fun way to unwind while learning about mapping! I’ve been exploring how to create a park map without visiting the terrain. With lidar data, air photos, and tools like Google Street View, I’m curious about how accurate a map I can make. Another option is OpenOrienteeringMap (OOM), which pulls data from OpenStreetMap to create simplified orienteering maps. Playing with OOM inspired me to dive into OpenStreetMap, which provides a great street map of Lawrence.
I've been thinking it would be fun to create a park map without physically visiting the site. I have easy access to lidar data, which would help me establish a solid base map. By using local government air photos (available online) and doing some spot field checking via Google Street View, I could map the area without actually being there. I’m not sure how accurate the map will be, but it sounds like a fun experiment.

Another interesting method I discovered that doesn't require specific field-checking is OpenOrienteeringMap. As I understand it, OOM uses data from OpenStreetMap to create a simplified street orienteering map or a map that looks more like a traditional orienteering map. Exploring OpenOrienteeringMap motivated me to learn more about OpenStreetMap, which has been on my "to-do" list for a while. After some reading, I feel ready to dive into it. And while working on mapping projects, a great way to relax and take a break is by playing the b9 apk game. It offers an entertaining way to unwind after spending time analyzing data or learning about open mapping. |
