The DigitalGlobe imagery is of higher resolution than GeoEye, and has coverage over all of Haiti. However, some of the imagery is obscured by (dust?) clouds, so GeoEye may be a better bet in certain locations.

Imagery commentary

Timeline overview

For the number of datasets available for a given day, see this bar chart.

For an accounting of imagery provider vs. date, see this table.

Both last updated 30 January 2010 and based on information in tables below only.

One image set is from before the earthquake; see #Pre-earthquake Imagery, below.

Two image sets are updated every day; see #GeoEye, below, where one Ikonos and one GeoEye1 satellite source provides daily updates.

Imagery coverage

Image:Haiti High Resolution Imagery as of 2010-01-19.png (shown at top of this page) is an aggregate view of most imagery boundaries depicted in the "Boundaries" columns in the tables above.

For Department-level imagery coverage in tabular form, see "Haiti Imagery Coverage by Department".[2]

Geotagged photos

MapPIN'on OSM started to provide makers of geotagged photos uploaded in Flickr, because Flickr uses OSM for Haiti.

Quality

see discussion page for proposal

How to use in Editors

Editing in JOSM

  • Make sure the WMS Plugin is installed (Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins -> wmsplugin)
  • Check that the Projection method is set to WGS84 Geographic (EPSG:4326) if you had previously changed it (Edit -> Preferences -> Map Settings)
  1. Go to Preferences->WMS
    1. Click Add
    2. In the column Menu name enter the name to be displayed in the WMS menu, i.e. Haiti - GeoEye - Ikonos
    3. In the column WMS URL enter the WMS URL from the table above
  2. Save the preferences
  3. Load data from Haiti
  4. Select the menu item WMS->Haiti - GeoEye - Ikonos (or whatever name you've chosen). This creates a a background layer with the GeoEye imagery

You may want to use the JOSM presets for the Haiti Earthquake Response.

Editing in Potlatch

  1. In Potlach click on Set Options
  2. Enter the URL from the table above

Editing in Merkaator

To trace in Merkaartor you need version 0.15. Use the same URL as for Potlatch.

Best Practices

  • Add a tag source=* to every object traced from one of the images above. The value should give credit to the image provider and it should include the date of the imagery used. Use ISO 8601 as date format (YYYY-MM-DD, i.e. 2010-01-20).
Image provider Source Tag
NOAA source=NOAA, 2010-01-18
GeoEye source=satellite, GeoEye, date, i.e.
  • source=Ikonos, GeoEye, 2010-01-18
  • source=GeoEye1, GeoEye, 2010-01-18
DigitalGlobe source=satellite, DigitalGlobe, date, i.e.
  • source=QuickBird, DigitalGlobe, 2010-01-18
  • source=WorldView-2, DigitalGlobe, 2010-01-18
ErosB source=ErosB, ScanEx, date
Spot Image source=Cnes/SpotImage, date
JAXA source=JAXA/ALOS, date
Google source=Google, 2010-01-17
