[mkgmap-dev] Fix Sea Patch

From Gerd Petermann gpetermann_muenchen at hotmail.com on Mon Jan 18 13:56:36 GMT 2021

Hi Mike,

according to JOSM validator the data in this file contains thousands of errors. What's the reason to use it?

Gerd

Hi Gerd,

I have uploaded /download/498/gbcoastline-unfixed.zip which contains
coastline data that is incorrectly ordered.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

it would be great  to have some unit tests or at least a sample file
containing the problem cases which are treated by your patch.

Hi Gerd,

I had too little logging information in the version I sent previously. The
attached remedies that.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Gerd,

I'm not sure that mkgmap should be prescriptive about where the input data
comes from. However, I have produced an updated patch that reports on errors
in the input data without providing any functionality to fix the problems.
Please see the attached patch that is able to identify most problems in sea
data.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike & Ticker,

I would not want to add code to mkgmap to fix problems which only occur in
data that is produced by a 3rd party software. My understanding is that the
"fixing" should happen in that 3rd party software, not in mkgmap.

Hi Ticker,

I use coastline data that is generated from just line data and the algorithm
used is not able to properly determine whether polygons are islands or
water. It does however make sure polygons are closed, so I don't have
problems with having to join ways together and hence I don't use close-gaps
or extend sea-sectors.

I'm unclear exactly what an anti-island is supposed to be - I have
considered it to be a separate bit of sea, and in my data I have lots of
those that are correct. They are only incorrect if they are within the sea,
rather than the land. For example, if there is a coast road with sea on both
sides of it, I am likely to have a separate sea polygon within the land if
its connection to the sea is under a bridge. The patch checks for sea within
sea and land within land. It doesn't then go back and recursively check for
nested problems - I suspect this would be quite an overhead.

The code is certainly not perfect, but does produce enormously improved
results for me at least. I can still see at least one error in my map, but I
think the remaining errors are tile boundary issues that are resolved
differently on adjacent tiles. I am thinking of a small app to read the
mkgmap log file and the coastline data, reversing whatever mkgmap says is
wrong. By running mkgmap without splitter on just the coastline data I
should be able to avoid any tile boundary problems.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike & Gerd

I always try to use the coastline data in the downloaded OSM map to
generate the sea with option:
  --generate-sea=multipolygon,extend-sea
-sectors,close-gaps=750
and have only ever had 1 problem with faulty
coastline. In this case it wasn't a reversed section but a lake had
been tagged with coastline, worse, in the wrong direction so it wasn't
treated as an internal sea, rather an island, flipping the rest of the
tile to sea.

I sometimes have problems with the continuation of the downloaded country's
coastlines being cut off and ending up near the middle of tiles, but closer
to the wrong edge or, when extended to the edge, they are in the same
direction as an adjacent coastline, because the un-crossing is outside the
downloaded area.

@Mike - Do you use --coastlinefile to circumvent this type of problem and is
there an advantage to this over using --precomp-sea? The data seems to need
a lot of correcting!

If arbitrary bits of coastline are in the wrong direction, should you have
another phase, after joining in the same direction and removing
anti/islands. Try to join against their direction and moving closed ways to
an ambiguous closed list and other ways that joined to an ambiguous linear
list. Then see if the ambiguous ones can be resolved, maybe by weighting by
the direction of the majority.

I feel that some of your fixes of land/sea are too late in the flow of code,
ie after generateSeaBackgound has been set.

It seems a reasonably assertion that all anti-islands are a mistake in the
data. I think the only one is the Caspian Sea, which is unlikely to be fully
contained in a tile.

checkIslands(), to do the full job, would need to look at the nesting of
sea/land/sea... so, given above, I don't think it worthwhile.

In verifyHits(), I don't see where any changes that resolves "adjacent hits
in same direction" are applied. The 'fix' could make it totally wrong rather
than partially wrong. Looking for 3 in the same direction and reversing the
middle one might be better.

As I said earlier, I've never had a problem where this type of fixing would
be of any use.

The swapping between land and sea needs to do more than just re-tagging; the
multi-polygon handling needs to be considered and also the fullArea of sea.
