[HOT] #777 Hi-res imagery for Cameroon (was Mapping Northern Nigeria ?)

[Mark Cupitt]

Hi John, yep, that was my understanding on the overview.. The next step is
to analyze the overview and create tasks that will pick out the population
areas for detailed mapping.

The cloud cover, unfortunately is there to stay unless DG get additional
imagery .. and make it available.

If we are ready, I will create some new tasks for more detailed mapping, is
there any preferred area to start? (ie: are there people on the ground that
we can leverage??)

I am not too worried about the validation as that will be more appropriate
when the detailed tasks are done

Let me know ..

Cheers

Mark
