OSM Integration

[metinha]

Recently, I’ve deployed OSM as a private server for mapping the indoors of a factory. At this moment, I was asked to deploy Open Street Cam in order to provide street level imagery, so here comes my question, is there any installation script or procedure/docs to deploy it and integrate it with OSM?

Thank you so much in advance!! #

@metinha This sounds really interesting. My first question is why not use the public OSM and/or OSC servers? What do you expect when you say integrate it with OSM because maybe OSC is not right for your needs.

Hi, @bogdans-telenav ! My clients have concernings about corporate espionage, because of we would take pictures from the insides of the factory. In consequence, they would prefer not to upload any private content at public OSM/OSC. About integration, I mean I've deployed OSM with additional layers with the plant's blueprint, so I wanted to deploy OSC for providing street level imagery to its layers. I've seen openstreetview.sql dump file and I saw it used php and MariaDB. So I 've deployed an apache + php and a MariaDB instance. I've created a site for the code and I dumped the script to the DB, but the site is not loading, that's why I've asked if you had any docs or installation scripts. Any hint?

Thank you again!!

Sorry to reply this late @metinha, we focused on a few other things lately. It's an interesting use case that we didn't think of. Just a quick question before proceeding with this, the first thing that comes to mind is GPS precision inside buildings ( you mentioned factories ). Did you find the precision from a standard smartphone acceptable for that?

I'm not the web developer but I can ask someone to provide you some directions if you want to move forward.

Thank you so much for your answer @alexandrui-telenav! Indeed, GPS doesn't work well indoors. We have planned to work around it by taking references from the edges of the factory and taking measurements handmade (altering metadata after taking the pictures), we'll build something like a grid or a Cartesian coordinate system inside it.

It would be fantastic! Thank you so much in advance!

Wow, that sounds like an interesting thing to implement. The code on Github, I'll have to admit, is a bit behind what's currently on openstreetcam.org. In the next few weeks we plan to update a few things, including some deploy details ( we're using Ansible for that ). In the meantime I can't really help more on that..

Thank you very much! They are amazing news.

Wow! Is a great idea, i am very interested also. Have you any news about it? Thx!
