Ortophography for Portugal is not well positioned.

Description

Preface: I didn't know where else to complain about this, so here it is.

---

So, I was using RapiD to do some quick building marking in my area. However I encountered a problem.

This is how it looks on RapiD:

However, this is the same region on regular iD:

Notice how some buildings are way off like these ones:

Is this a problem with the positioning/scaling of the photographies?

Thank you

Version

1.1.9

What browser are you seeing the problem on? What version are you running?

Firefox 108

Steps to reproduce

Compare RapiD with regular iD on the Northern Portugal region.

The browser URL at the time you encountered the bug

https://mapwith.ai/rapid#background=Maxar-Premium&datasets=fbRoads,msBuildings&disable_features=boundaries&map=19.60/41.07776/-8.30996

Hey @ruilvo - It does look like you are comparing two different background imagery layers, I think that would explain the difference. In the url, it includes background=Maxar-Premium - and if I take this out of the URL then it loads the preferred imagery by default.

Also, if you click on the background icon, you can switch the background to a different one. It will update the URL also to match.

Does this answer your question?

Hey! Thanks for the feedback!

The problem for me is that there is a difference, so I'm left what should I trust...

Changing to the 2018 Ortophotos makes RapiD look like this:

If only it recomputed the buildings based on the photos selected...

My problem is that I feel I can't use RapiD because the buildings will not be right when viewing on OSM. And many buildings will collide with roads and etc drawn from OSM if accepted on RapiD, like the one in the centre of the screenshot (which is wrong anyway, but you get the point).

Yes this makes sense.. We do have issue #270 which would allow users to adjust the alignment of the data layers, maybe that would be an acceptable solution?

[ruilvo]

Well, any way to adjust the layer with the AI "proposals" relative to the data layer would sort the problem out.

I'll close as a duplicate then.

Duplicates #270.
