Imagery Processing…Lessons Learned?

Anyway, recently HOT bought some imagery. I naively thought that I could just run it through gdal2tiles.py and go skipping down the road to digitizing. Well, I was wrong.

Imagery Pre-disaster Let’s Do Better

This week is the first expert meeting regarding Space Based Technology and Crowd-Sourcing being hosted by UN-SPIDER. I am not attending, but from the Twitter stream (#spidercrowd) it appears there has been a lively discussion on using satellite information and crowd-sourcing for disaster response. What I believe is often missing from these types of conversations is preparedness. Maybe it is presumptuous of me to discuss preparedness when imagery isn’t available freely every time for every disaster.
