Doing a routine pre-upload checklist, I found a case where there was a large<br>
section of duplicate river overlap in adjacent NHD water basin extracts.<br>
This was the Mackinaw river in sub-basins 07130003 and 07130004 . This<br>
becomes easier to see by loading the entire upload into JOSM - the<br>
'flowlines' create a scatter plot that roughly follows the borderline on the<br>
NHD download map. But duplicates extend for a long distance outside the<br>
primary sub-basin boundaries as indicated by the flowlines.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what the best solution is; a program to detect duplicate<br>
areas may not detect duplicates from an adjacent upload by a different<br>
person.<br></blockquote></div><br><div>For the Corine import of France, I have been using Postgis and some SQL to calculate overlap between two surfaces. It is a mixture of ST_Area with ST_Intersect. It is not perfect but we caught lots of existing forests inside OSM so we didn't have to upload them. </div>
