Indoor mapping for OpenStreetMap

Talkat FOSSASIA Summit 2025 · 2025-03-13..03-15· [data-visualization, open-source]

Shows how to turn building floorplan photos into usable OSM indoor data: photograph public floorplans, crop with CamScanner or Microsoft Lens, upload each floor as a georeferenced image in the iD editor (osm-iD import), trace building polygon, draw rooms or points (toilets, elevators), tag rooms with access and floor number (note OSM uses floor 0 for ground), preview on IndoorEqual/indoor viewers, then submit a changeset. Examples include a university building with five floors and a few Bangkok locations.
