Adding details to OSM is actually very relaxing. I do it to unwind and kill time sometimes. The job is never done, however, and there is always room for more detail.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoCan OSM accept 3D laser scanner/cloud point data?
- maxerickson 11y agoNot really. You could jam it into the data model, but it isn't meant to be a clearinghouse for arbitrary data sets where an update is making another sensor pass. A simple rubric is whether someone standing in the street can reasonably improve the data there, another is to what extent each individual piece of data is interesting in isolation. That doesn't mean you can't do interesting things with such data: http://chris-osm.blogspot.com/2015/09/extracting-building-heights-from-lidar.html http://chris-osm.blogspot.com/2015/09/extracting-building-he... (I realize that someone could reasonably fix some error in some lidar data, but I think the most likely outcome of storing such data in the OSM database is that the cumulative edits would frustrate anyone looking to use the data, to the extent that they would go to the source)
- toomuchtodo 11y agoThank you for the reply. I'm always excited to contribute whatever data I can to OSM.
