[OSM-dev] Doing street names from aerial imagery

[John Robert Peterson]

So we can assume that a bounding area for what we are interested in will be
supplied;

Assume that there are no oneway systems in place unless that data is already
on the server;

Assume that all roads are equally passable unless otherwise staed in the
database (either by speed restictions or other metadata);

Could road passability be calulated usefully from road cureyness? or would
it be bust simply to use length?

to summerise what I have read so far:

There are a set of nodes (each intersection) a set of ways (each of which is
linked ot 1 or more nodes) and a separate routing table between nodes (to
contain routing metrics)

The routing table would be a sparse data stucture (liked list or database
reference system etc) and would be asemetric to accomodate one way systems
etc.

Each way only need one of it's nodes to be visited.

We are working out multiple predetermined psudo-optemistic routes that meet
the above.

I've studied this stuff (at undergrad level) but you'd need ot be a smarter
person than me to figure that one out... (not to put a dapener on things,
there are many people who are smarter than me...)
