[OSM-talk] [Fwd: New ALOS imagery]

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

After a quick look with JOSM:

Three of the four new images available are :
- ALOS/Pan-Sharpened
- ALOS/PRISM
- ALOS/AVNIR-2

They cover an area whose South-Western (bottom-left) corner includes 
Jacmel (not for Pan-Sharpened), and that extend well beyond Port-au-Prince.


The fourth image is :
- ALOS/PALSAR

It has lower resolution and covers a very wide part of the peninsula 
West (left) of Jacmel and Grand Goave.
It is a radar image. Thus it is cloudless and shows shaded relief.


THANK YOU JAXA / ALOS / SpotImage (Distributor) !

Could someone knowledgeable please create the boundary images in the wiki ?

I see in

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/ImageryAndDataSources

that new ALOS imagery is available.

(Duplicating here in case someone is not looking at the wiki, but 
checking his or her mail)
