    “Click on the images where the red outline is clearly marking a building”

    Gonna be honest, accessibility for those with altered color vision is gonna need some work.

      It shouldn’t be that bad to implement alternate colors.

        better yet, make it a shifting line. Should be trivial to spot if the line is shifting through all the chroma and lux values.

    Are all the demo images supposed to be ‘incorrect’? 'Cause your outlines are all crooked, they look much worse than e.g. Microsofts building outlines and of course proper manualy made ones

      It should be (according to the video) but maybe sometimes you get an all bad set?

        LOL, I didn’t even notice that. I guess file a false report with your government. And somehow get it accepted as being true.

    Their html is awful. They need to start over. This is bad.

    On Firefox on a tablet, vertical is okay but often there’s nothing outlined in the picture. In landscape the picture covers the top half of the buttons.

    Does this actually work? Also, what happens if the bots learn to contribute to OSM?

        Never seen that one. That’s good. we need that on Lemmy.

        Not even comments. So many posts here are just low effort images. Ive even seen screenshots of headlines posted without a link to the source article. And it got upvotes! Smh

    @ray @openstreetmap

    Makes you wonder what people are thinking.

    So many rounded corners and buildings with notched taken out of them when they clearly just have a tree over a bit of the building.
