New NRW and Kreis Viersen layers (Germany) #2022
New NRW and Kreis Viersen layers (Germany) #2022
Conversation
Would be much appreciated if someone could merge this. @andrewharvey maybe? |
Since iDOP and vDOP cover the same area, we should select one to be the "best" / default. |
vDOP is always the best available data
Thanks for looking into this!
Good point, addressed per 54da28d. |
To make it more clear: vDOP is temporary available data. It's the preprocessing product of DOP and when the DOP are ready, the vDOP vanish. So if available, vDOP is the best / most recent ortho but it's always only available for a certain time for a given area. |
If available, vDOP is the most recent ortho.
Test is failing because of the not reachable license URL which is addressed per #2023. |
Should be good to merge now. |
But NRW_Ortho is not necessarily the most up-to-date. I do agree, the situation is complicated because we are having a lot of choice (which is nice) and what is the "best" depends on ones point of view. We've created this tool where you are able to compare the current coverage and time stamps (yellow overlay, just zoom in): Here is also an overview map and further infos: Infos regarding iDOP: Hope this helps! |
So? Slightly out of date but existing is a far better experience than the current situation where we have to change the layer every single time.
No, a layer not covering all of NRW should not be the best layer for all of NRW. It's really not complicated at all.
No, as long as long as the wrong layers are default for regions not covered, this doesn't help at all. |
This adds:
The license for all these is Data licence Germany - Zero - Version 2.0, which is essentially a translation of CC0. This repository already includes data using this license.
iDOP:
20cm ground resolution orthophotos updated yearly for half the area of NRW
vDOP:
Preprocessing product of DOP in 10cm ground resoluton, updated constantly
ALKIS:
The data includes PNG renderings of government cadastre data (ALKIS) of buildings, roads, etc. It is usually of very high quality, as the data ultimately comes from official government data and land surveying and has an accuracy of at most a few centimeters.
The data for Kreis Viersen is mostly the same as for NRW (and eventually contributes to the Kreis Viersen part of the NRW data) but the Kreis Viersen data is updated daily (very useful to add new buildings) whereas the NRW data is only updated twice a year, and won't be updated in 2023 due to a data migration.
