At the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), we are working on a group of free and open source tools for community creation of maps. Following a process that involves aerial imagery gathering with UAVs, remote volunteer mapping, community in-the-field data collection, AI assisted remote sensing, and finally, downloading and using the map in disasters and humanitarian work. This is an end-to-end (E2E) solution that benefits everyone, from a small community to a big organization. We want to tell the story about how we’re creating and using these tools and what could be the future of humanitarian and disaster mapping from an open tech and data perspective.
We hope that you leave this talk inspired and excited about becoming part of the end to end mapping journey!
