📢 Programme published | #EuroSDR International Workshop - Exploring the new frontiers of Volunteered Geographical Information (#VGI)
📆 Aug 31st - Sept 1st
📍 Paris 🇫🇷

I'm really thrilled to share that the programme of the International Workshop on Exploring the new frontiers of #VGI has been released. A big and warm thank you 🙏 to all speakers for having proposed such exciting topics and interactive session formats 🤩.

What role does the human-in-the-loop play in AI-assisted mapping?

In a recent experiment with YouthMappers in Ghana, we explored how editors interact with AI-generated roads in #OpenStreetMap. Do human edits refine the data or simply pass it through?

Understanding these actions helps improve trust, validation, and quality. It also guides how the community works with growing AI-generated data. What is your take on AI-mapping?

How can crowdsourced geographic knowledge support #DisasterManagement?

We have selected 5 free, #open-source services and resources that help integrate #VGI into disaster management.

Thanks to invaluable crowdsourced data like #OpenStreetMap, such tools offer customizable routing, easy collection of geographical knowledge within local communities, worldwide data on road surface types, and more: https://heigit.org/five-open-source-tools-to-harness-geographic-knowledge-for-disaster-management/

We have released a new project type on the crowdmapping app #MapSwipe!
MapSwipe now supports not only satellite images, but also street-level imagery. This new feature enables even mapping efforts that require the highest level of detail, such as detecting waste on the street.

Try it out, it only takes a few swipes to start mapping!
💻 for web: https://web.mapswipe.org/
📱 for mobile: https://mapswipe.org/de/#startMapswiping

Muss man zwingend Polygone (oder gar Freihand oder so) auf die digitale Karte zeichnen können, @soerenwilke? Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass Punkte + je Punkt ein Freitext (oder je ein Formular, falls man schon strukturierter sammeln will) auch genügen. Ich ich glaube mich zu erinnern, dass es dafür schon fixfertige #CitizenMapping-Webapplikationen gibt.

The frequency, intensity and impacts of #pluvial #flooding as recently witnessed in #Braunschweig (Germany) are increasing - even more in a warming #climate

Can #VGI improve confidence in pluvial flood hazard models?
