Kate Chapman - Ignite OSCON 2014
summary
OpenAerialMap aims to be an open, distributed, searchable repository of georeferenced imagery so responders can find what imagery exists at a place and use it for routing, damage assessment and mapping. Examples include a half-meter resolution DigitalGlobe before/after of Typhoon Haiyan, satellite feeds like Landsat 8 plus kites, drones and aircraft, and printed maps used by field teams. Project dates to 2006 and is rebooting in 2014 with seed funding from the Humanitarian Innovation Fund and partial open source code on GitHub but not yet fully deployed.
