Height information estimated from satellite imagery.
Tutorial - estimation from satellite imagery
Object estimation method by satellite imagery on JOSM for North Korea
Step 1 : Find an object
Find an object for which the height is known, for this exemple : the height of Mirae Unha Tower is described at d:Q25389789#P2048.
Step 2 : Measure
Measure the height of the same building on the desired imagery. To measure the height on the imagery draw a line from the base of the building to the roof and observe the distance indicated on JOSM (bottom left).
Step 3 : Ratio
Make a ratio between :
- the real size of the building and
- the distance indicated on your measurement in step 2.
Step 4 : Use the ratio
Use the ratio to find out the size of the desired building.
