« Last Post by PeterC on 12 June 2019, 10:12:38 »Kepler.gl (originally from Uber) is "a powerful open source geospatial analysis tool for large-scale data sets."
Explore various maps for several OPS on M4OPS.
For our prototype mapping system try the Demo at mapping4ops.org/M4OPS.
You can also see an overview of M4OPS on YouTube. |

Recommended Mapping Solutions / Georeferencing a map for free« Last Post by PeterC on 23 March 2019, 06:59:06 »I know of two ways to georeference a map for free:
1. On your computer using QGIS Open source software. There is a lot of information about QGIS, including:
2. Online using the free Map Warper Georeferencing application from Tim Waters There is a brief Map Warper Guide, but it is a fairly simple process. I have not tried this fully yet. Bear in mind that once a map has been georeferenced it still needs to be tiled before uploading to the web for use. I have MapTiler software that can do this. 4

Other Aspects of Mapping of One-Place Studies / OpenDroneMap« Last Post by PeterC on 17 May 2018, 10:19:16 »OpenDroneMap is "an open source toolkit for processing aerial drone imagery. Typical drones use simple point-and-shoot cameras, so the images from drones, while from a different perspective, are similar to any pictures taken from point-and-shoot cameras, i.e. non-metric imagery. OpenDroneMap turns those simple images into three dimensional geographic data that can be used in combination with other geographic datasets."

Sources of Maps and Geographic Datasets / Re: UK LIDAR data« Last Post by PeterC on 17 May 2018, 06:53:53 »In 2018 the Environment Agency announced that they plan to survey the whole of England at 1m resolution, completing the coverage by 2020. This will fill the gaps in coverage giving a complete lidar dataset for England, where currently 40% is either unsurveyed or surveyed at only 2m resolution.

Sources of Maps and Geographic Datasets / Re: Available Open Data« Last Post by PeterC on 17 May 2018, 06:40:34 »Another example is the canton of Zurich which made its geodata available to the public free of charge from January 2018 onwards. The information should enable the development of business ideas. The authorities expect a lot of potential for the economy and society.

Mapping Technologies we can probably ignore / OpenAddresses« Last Post by PeterC on 17 May 2018, 06:36:07 »OpenAddresses.io is "The free and open global address collection." Anyone can Parse & import into a database, put on a map, or use for geocoding.
Some countries (eg France) are much better covered than others (eg UK). |
