Hackathon Proposal: more diversified facade textures osm2city

Title:	Mode diversified facade textures for osm2city buildings FIXME FIXME
Sponsors:	vanosten
Interested Parties:	none
Status:	n/a
Summary:	n/a
Background:	The current texture atlas for osm2city has its limits: only one atlas very small based on pictures from real buildings no regionalisation facades and roofs intermixed We need to be able to have a larger diversity of facade textures - per building types and for more building types (e.g. industrial buildings, warehouses, summer houses). The idea is to : keep the current Python-based format of registration per texture, as it has enough properties (to be verified) create several atlases - each atlas being defined by a defined geometric rectangular puzzle of pods and nodes ability to use different atlases per building (e.g. facade vs. roof) ability to use regional textures (e.g. family houses look quite different in different regions, while office buildings look the same. During the hackathon a PoC would be done for: Deciding on the image format for original editing Deciding on the atlas pods and nodes Creating a set of textures for commercial /office / sky-scraper facades (relatively geometric) and a set of textures for family houses Make the code to display these buildings
