[talk-ph] Using aerial and ground photos for mapping

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Hi,

While post-disaster satellite imagery is not available yet, it is
possible to use photos or videos, taken from the air or the ground, to
get a better idea of what is there.

A collection of geolocated photos or videos found on social media
(focused on damages and aid deployment) has been started here:

https://haiyan.crowdmap.com/

Some of them might be useful for mapping.

In this process, it is also quite possible that you find that some
locations could be improved. In this case, please add a comment to the
report, so that admins can take this into account.

And of course the photo/video crowdmap is open for contributions from
all (but please avoid duplicates).

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem
