[OSM-talk] An example photo/video mapping trip

[Paul Norman]

A few GSoC students have made proposals relating to video and photo mapping.
As I make good use of photos from my car for mapping I thought I'd prepare a
set of annotate photos, pointing out objects that I map.

I've finished these and placed them at

ip
The zip file includes the images, the GPX track and some notes. The image
files have coloured rectangles indicating different objects with the key in
the notes.

The trip is a mix of residential, industrial and highway travel. Most of the
time spent entering the data from this trip would normally be typing out the
tagging for POIs and shops.

My typical trip involves much less highway travel and much more travel
through retail and commercial landuse where I can spend a couple minutes
with one picture adding all the shops.

The photos were taken 10 seconds apart from a camera mounted in about the
middle-right of my car and my GPX track comes from my garmin.
