Background¶
This is a project for conflating map data, with the ultimate goal of importing it into OpenStreetMap. It is oriented towards processing non OSM external datasets.
Programs¶
conflateBuildings.py¶
This looks for duplicate buildings both in the external dataset, and in OSM. This has been used with multiple datasets, namely the Microsoft ML Building footprints, Overture, and others.
conflatePOI.py¶
This looks to find a building when the data is only a POI. Many external datasets are a list of buildings, like schools or hospitals. In OSM the only metadata for the feature may be building=yes. Also field collected data with ODK Collect is also a POI, and we want the data that was collected to be merged with any existing OSM features.
