Method and provenance
- Production method
- Fifteen volunteers used Zooniverse to mark apparent road blockages or bridge damage in 3 m PlanetScope imagery. The project generated a consensus point layer, and an expert compared the marks with satellite imagery in GIS.
- Provenance
- Produced by the Planetary Response Network using Planet Labs imagery and HOT OpenStreetMap road data, then published through HDX.
- Validation
- Partially Validated
- Uncertainty
- The points are crowdsourced image interpretations. Expert imagery review is documented, but no field validation is stated.
- Limitations
- Assessment was limited to primary and secondary roads in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Kathmandu regions. The 22 points indicate interpreted blockage locations and should not be generalized to unassessed roads.
