Allmaps

Allmaps is a set of open source tools that make it easier and more fun to search, explore, georeference and work with collections of digitised maps

 Allmaps works with any image repository that supports the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). By using tiled IIIF images, JavaScript and WebGL, Allmaps can warp georeferenced maps in the browser. This eliminates the need for running a map tile server or WMS server.

 Allmaps and its components are far from finished so this is a work in progress still, with funding from libraries in The Netherlands.

The use of Lidar in ca taster is used to define new urban areas, in which they are able to show the development, which can be obtained with high precision thanks to the advancement of georeferencial technologies and the resolution of Lidar and Hyperspectral sensors.

This facilitates the continuous monitoring of the soil and the spatial distribution, improves the combination of the elements of analysis for activities of  planning, execution, control and verification, strengthening the decision-making on the part of local authorities, regional or nationally.

On the other hand, with the use of this technology  it is possible to monitor and measure the efficiency of the public investments projects, especially those that allowed advanced georeferencing or execution.

1746 map of London now available as an incredibly detailed Google map

"The Centre for Metropolitan History and Museum of London Archaeology wanted a map that could help them visualise data from the 18th and 19th centuries.

They started by taking John Rocque’s 1746 map of London, putting the 24 parts together, then georeferencing it."
