Hi there,

The list is quite silent these day :-|, but I might have a few spare
"cycles" as sysadmin if needed. Btw: what's the latest status with
the current OAM architecture, deployments, active/available datasets?

@Jim, how much data and what areas do you have in mind? (another topic
might be the licensing, is it PD/public already?)

Regards,
Ciprian

Hi.

I have been talking to people at FOSS4G about Open Aerial Map and
would like to get involved in the project. I have a few ortho-photo
datasets that I need to publish and I figure I might as well do so in
a way that supports a broader goal.

Yeah and we at massdot still have a couple terrabytes of obliques (the same ones used in bing) that we own and would love to liberate from their wierd pictometry format

At a previous job we ended up selecting vendors based on their willingness to provide us the data in an open format. (We already had a viewer that allowed users to access photos from many sources, from a selection of big collection contracts to ad-hoc shots, into the viewer. So a viewer was tied to one dataset or vendor wasn't appropiate.)

If you have what I think you have, getting the imagery into an open format isn't too bad; getting the geo-referencing data to go with the images is quite the challenge.

I need to sort through them again to be sure. I've got over 10TB of various aerial imagery in various formats. Some ortho, some stereo, some straight off the film scanner with no real georeferencing. Most of it is in Minnesota or along the US side of the great lakes.

My goal is to take the ortho imagery, convert it to OAM format for serving tiles to web clients... Somewhat as a preview image. Of course a lot of this data will be considerably smaller as OAM tiles with only 3 bands and JPEG compression. I also am serving the origonal tiles and hopefully a WCS (so far I have had difficulty finding solid WCS implementations) for remote sensing users, but from what I understand that is outside the scope of OAM.

I believe they are ok to distribute publically but will have to double check.

Yeah if you change the extention to jpeg you can view it, other things came up before i was able to totally figure it out but i think there is a shapefile grid for it somewhere
