We have the first data from the Brod Survey online.

They have hired a GIS/QGis expert who is leading the mapping there. If this goes well, there might be more jobs and work for OSM and OSGEO people in the future.

This project is using F/LOSS GIS Software and OSM for doing urban planning in Kosovo. The team went there for the first survey last weekend.

We have alot of data now online, and want to create maps for them.

Here is a nice shot of the wonderful nature in the mountains of Kosovo:

Here is how I made the exif tags for the photos:

Here is how I merged the tracks :

Tracks:
osm.org/user/h4ck3rm1k3/traces/659428

I have created osm files and kml files from the photos,
http://xhema.flossk.org:8080/mapdata/03/brod/total.osm
http://xhema.flossk.org:8080/mapdata/03/brod/total.kml

they load into gearth etc, but are not loading into the sahana, even if I made a KML layer with them.

I am uploading them to openstreetview at the moment.

I have been able to load and place the photos with josm, but that is not ideal for collaboration.

Question :
is there a way to use this photo for tracing, a way to rectify it on the map somehow :

Here are some resources I found

Mapping with cameras on Kites :

Mapping with aerial photos :

here there is some research into it :

All help from the osm community is welcome,
any mentorship and help is welcome.

We have alot of work ahead to get this map of dragash going, this is the first town of many.

thanks,
mike
