Grassroots Mapping » What is Grassroots Mapping?
January 27th, 2010 by Jeffrey Warren A group of activists, educators, technologists, and community organizers now known as Public Laboratory came together to organize the Gulf Oil Mapping project. Since May 2010, we have been working with New Orleans-based Louisiana Bucket Brigade to get Gulf Coast residents out on boats and along beaches to produce high-resolution aerial imagery of the spill’s effects. All the imagery from this project is being released into the public domain Read more How it started This January 2010, Jeff Warren worked with a series of organizations and communities to produce maps with children and adults from several communities in Lima, including the Cantagallo settlement of Shipibo on the bank of the Rimac and the Juan Pablo II community in Villa El Salvador. Seeking to invert the traditional power structure of cartography, the grassroots mappers used helium balloons and kites to loft their own "community satellites" made with inexpensive digital cameras.
NASA World Wind

Users could interact with the selected planet by rotating it, tilting the view, and zooming in and out. Other features of World Wind.NET included support for .X (DirectX 3D polygon mesh) models and advanced visual effects such as atmospheric scattering or sun shading. The resolution inside the US is high enough to clearly discern individual buildings, houses, cars (USGS Digital Ortho layer) and even the shadows of people (metropolitan areas in USGS Urban Ortho layer). Microsoft has allowed World Wind to incorporate Virtual Earth high resolution data for non-commercial use.[2] Add-ons and plugins[edit] Tutorials[edit] Age
Unshake
How to Use Unshake. How to Install. Unshake 1.5 is a Java-2 and C program which improves blurred and shaken photographs by working out the form of the blurring, then deducing what the picture would have looked like if it had not been blurred. Also included in this distribution is a library and command-line filter for Linux, UnshakeC1.5r1. Unshake is offered free for personal use. This is an example of what it can do; Below is a small part of a picture I took with a cheap Polaroid camera, blown up to 600 dpi. Unshake can also remove dithering and rasters, and it can work through the lines found on magazine pictures, though for copyright reasons I can't put examples of Unshaken magazine pictures on the website. But the real point of Unshake is that it does it automatically. For more examples, click here... or here Installation To install Unshake, please see "Installing Unshake".

Bing Maps Platform
Bing Maps Platform (previously Microsoft Virtual Earth) is a geospatial mapping platform produced by Microsoft. It allows developers to create applications that layer location-relevant data on top of licensed map imagery. The imagery includes samples taken by satellite sensors, aerial cameras (including 45 degree oblique "bird's eye" aerial imagery licensed from Pictometry International), Streetside imagery, 3D city models and terrain. Bing Maps Platform also provides a point-of-interest database including a search capability. Microsoft uses the Bing Maps Platform to power its Bing Maps product.

Géolocalisation
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Schéma de principe de la géolocalisation par GPS La géolocalisation ou géoréférencement est un procédé permettant de positionner un objet (une personne, etc) sur un plan ou une carte à l'aide de ses coordonnées géographiques. Cette opération est réalisée à l'aide d'un terminal capable d'être localisé (grâce à un système de positionnement par satellites (et un récepteur GPS par exemple) ou à d'autres techniques) et de publier (en temps réel ou de façon différée) ses coordonnées géographiques (latitude/longitude). Techniques de géolocalisation[modifier | modifier le code] Géolocalisation par géocodeur[modifier | modifier le code] Les logiciels de géocodage permettent de calculer et d'attribuer à une adresse ou à un objet référencé dans une carte vecteur des positions X,Y avec une précision de quelques dizaines de mètres en moyenne.

The Mobile City » Blog Archive » Cartography: the old versus the
On December 14th 2009 De Balie – an Amsterdam-based center for culture and politics – organized an evening about old and new cartographies. Participants were Ferjan Ormeling (Emeritus Professor Cartography, Faculty of Geographical Sciences, Utrecht University), Henk van Houtum (Associate Professor of Geopolitics and Political Geography, Head of the Nijmegen Centre for Border Research), Maarten Keulemans (science journalist), Jelle Reumer (director Natural Museum Rotterdam, Special Professor at Utrecht University), Lucas Keijning (NEMO science center), and me. The evening was lead by Volkskrant journalist Martijn van Calmthout. The evening was set up as a prelude to the presentation of a new world map the day after in The Hague. We have been making maps for centuries, to establish territorial borders or mark safe routes. Cartographer Ferjan Ormeling started the evening with an overview of cartography as a professional scientific discipline.
Olympus E-510 Evolt digital camera online resource
First impressions are very favourable. The IS gains about 2-3 stops, I really do not know how to measure this other than trying it out. I use the 50-200 Olympus lens and the Sigma 50-500 a lot and often need to hand hold. I understand that the remote issue with the E-500 is now resolved as the E-510 will use the same cable as the E-410 the RM-UC1. Some controls have been moved and I prefer the layout. The battery charger supplied is the BCM-2 which is disappointing as it charges the standard BLM-1 battery in about 4 hours, so keep your older BCM-1 as this does it in about 2 Hours.
