The level of detail required and the urgency are specified within the project together with any other information the remote mapper will require. The administrator ensures there is suitable satellite imagery available for remote mappers to trace, and creates a project covering the area. Overview of Remote, Armchair or Mapathon mappingĪn administrator selects an area requiring updating in OpenStreetMap. The HOT team works together to keep mistakes to a minimum & to correct them when they are found - you will make mistakes, just as each one of us has - please don’t give up, just learn from them & improve. There are no perfect ‘mappers’ and although you (and everybody else) will do your best to avoid mistakes, mistakes are inevitable. It is a skill that can be acquired with patience.

In brief, remote mapping is the process of using a software programme, tracing information from satellite imagery, and uploading the result so that it forms part of the map data. There have been many attempts to create software tools to replace the remote mappers, but all have failed so far. Remote mapping is the most labour intensive task.

Making sure that local people take over the role of maintaining the map data that has been prepared - that they have ‘ownership’ of it,.

Many people throughout the world are involved in making HOT work, and when you start remote mapping you become part of that team, which has many available roles, including (this is not the full list!): It will help you to understand what is needed if you know more about the whole process. Remote mapping is also referred to as ‘Armchair mapping’, and this is probably the type of mapping you will be doing if attending a mapathon.

All the sources were located to within a few meters and mass emission rates established within the associated confidence bounds.Remote editing & its place in the HOT team The resulting data were processed using a Bayesian, Markov chain Monte-Carlo inverse solver to locate the sources and quantify their mass emission rates and uncertainty bounds. Simultaneous wind and concentration data were collected for four calibrated methane gas release schemes with emission rates of ~1.3 kg/hr. LDS offers high precision (10–20 ppb), high dynamic range and linearity, enhanced immunity to atmospheric perturbations, with fast response to probe an area in 3 s. The novel open-path laser gas sensor uses Laser Dispersion Spectroscopy (LDS), with seven beams up to 98 meters long deployed across open, flat terrain. We present a new method that remotely detects, locates, and quantifies gas emission rates by sequentially steering an optical beam between multiple retro-reflectors. Reducing man-made greenhouse gas emissions depends on the effective detection and location of sources.
