 Tested SketchMapTool by @heigit, from the recent grant news. Printing a map works fine, GeoTIFF referencing works as expected (from a file, not a scanned copy). Still, nothing new over https://fieldpapers.org/ Was intrigued with its vector detection. The resulting GeoJSON was incorrect (not WGS-84 and polygons are wrong), but QGIS reads it. Scribbles are imported as polygons, so there's not much benefit over GeoTIFF. Try it here: https://sketch-map-tool.heigit.org/ 3 comments
@heigit great to hear from you, looking forward to meeting in person in Antwerp :) Regarding the vectorization, I think it's important to tell lines from polygons — at least for waking papers-type of surveying, when we draw missing fences and roads. Also, the requirement for different colors was weird. Again, that concerns polygons, I think. People usually use pens, blue and black. But then it'd be hard to know what is old and what is new. So a link to a source image might help. |
