[OSM-dev] Interests in OSM data updates/JOSM 360 images viewer projects of GSoC

[Fan, Xinyi]

Dear OSM developers,


My name is Xinyi (Cynthia) Fan and I’m currently a senior undergrad studying Computer Science and Math. I started to dive into OSM mid-March and learned to use JOSM to contribute my edits in the mapping. I become more interested in two of the GSoC projects about OSM data updates and JOSM image viewer, and would like to get into contact with the mentors to discuss my understanding and procedure.


Project: Improve mapsplit offline OSM data updating support (SimonPoole)


Thank you for providing the related API and codes. I would like to ask if my understanding for the approach is correct. Are we writing an algorithm to query the augmented diffs to all changes made and then match them with the record from our dataset and using socket connections to pass to the server/desktop/mobile. One question I have is that when you mention directly updating the data from edits, how often or how long in history should we query the API to update the change?


Project: Creating the high resolution image viewer for 360 images (GhostFoxSledgehammer)


Thank you for providing the related material. I read through the material you provided and want to ask about the goals we want to achieve. Are we aiming to create a filter similar to what GIMP does to create a high resolution panorama, and then allowing user to zoom in to view the image? Also, are we also making sure that the types of panorama we created will be accepted and displayed properly by JOSM? I would also appreciate if you can guide me a little through what should be my major input in this project.

Thank you so much for reading my email and I l am looking forward to hearing back from you!

Best,

Cynthia
