CA LULC <-> OQAPI Interaction

SlowMo24 opened this issue · 0 comments

The CA team is currently experimenting the possibility to combine OSM and RS data sources (https://gitlab.gistools.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/climate-action/lulc-utility/-/issues/51 and https://gitlab.gistools.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/climate-action/lulc-utility/-/merge_requests/38). Our first intuition is to go a similar pathway as https://gitlab.gistools.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/giscience/osmlanduse .

Yet, there are 3 points of contact between this new feature and OQAPI:

  1. The result will be an enhanced LULC map. So similar to the Daylight map, we could become an "enhance LULC data provider". Yet, the need for such a service, its resource consumption (technical as well as labour) as well as its alignment with the existing osmlanduse-data service (@mcauer ) would need careful evaluation.
  2. Our tool would benefit from a quality estimation for the OSM LULC data in a region. This way the trustworthiness in comparison to the ML model could lead to an improved combination.
  3. Our tool could provide a quality estimation of OSM in comparison to a LULC ML model by calculating the disagreement between the two.
