Mapping Points of Interest in San Francisco City

[poornibadrinath]

Aim:

To map points of interest in SF city

Tasking manager

Outlined workflow:

• Start with priority areas. Our priority areas cover the important junctions of major streets of SF city. Select and load a block from tasking manager and open in JOSM editor.
• Select all highways using highway -type:node filter and add it to the to-do list.
• Start reviewing the mapillary traces along the list of highways from to-do list.
• Apply the filter highway|amenity|shop|tourism|historic|(railway & name)|(public_transport & name)|leisure|natural|"addr:housename"|aeroway|power|(building & name) to show only important features.
• Manually review the Mapillary traces for the points of interests present/missing from OSM. Filter out traces that is less than an year old.
• If a POI is already present on OSM, ignore.
• If seen on the imagery but not mapped, map that particular POI.
• When relatively finished with adding POIs in a particular block, mark it as done and move onto the next block.

Few cases:

• If any indication of a POI present cannot be confirmed using Mapillary, do not map.
• If there is any POI seen in the imagery but there is no indication of what category it belongs to, do not map.
• Muni metro station signage
