🗺️🦀 Hello to the OpenStreetMap community,
I am happy to announce my latest project, osm-budynki-orto-import — a fully autonomous building import tool currently in operation in Poland. This is my next step towards making OpenStreetMap (OSM) a more dynamic and efficient platform.
This tool is designed with the objective of making building import process simpler and more accurate. The system utilizes official building data in conjunction with ortophoto imagery to validate the accuracy of the data before importing it.
At the heart of this tool lies an advanced computer vision model, with a precision as high as 99.7%. This accuracy is, in my opinion, superior to the capabilities of most average mappers, providing a faster and more reliable way of mapping structures.
One unique feature of this tool is its ability to cross-reference historical OSM data to prevent re-importing of previously deleted buildings. This function ensures that once a building is removed from the OSM, it will not reappear in future automatic imports.
The primary goal of this project is to significantly cut down on monotonous and repetitive tasks, freeing up the mappers to focus on intricate and high-value mapping assignments.
In the spirit of promoting transparency and collaboration, the complete project has been open-sourced on GitHub. Along with the codebase, I have also shared a CVAT-compatible dataset with 6000 classification entries, a resource which could be highly beneficial to other developers.
As always, your feedback plays a crucial role in the ongoing development and refinement of the project. If you find value in this project and wish to support its ongoing development and maintenance, you can find my donation information at https://monicz.dev/#support-my-work.
Give it a star on GitHub ⭐️.
