Fortunately the code is available for you to play with:

This other project has some interesting geometric explorations:

Thanks for the words of support! These are two other interesting generative cover projects: http://variable.io/generative-covers/ http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2008/july/faber-find...

Worth noting our effort is mostly a side project that supports the _real_ project which is the ebook reader app

MapBox is working on a user-assisted vectorizer for satellite images: http://www.mapbox.com/blog/user-friendly-guided-feature-extr...

OpenCV is used here only for the "has dot/cross" aspect of feature detection (and it is very primitive still). The polygons themselves are more a work of R and GDAL.

It does vary from map to map although it is optimized for insurance maps (or any map made mostly with clearly delineated polygons). We've included a config file that you would modify to suit the maps you are working with. The current process takes advantage of preexisting features in mapping tools and adds feature detection (e.g. polygon is/isn't a building) and concave hulls.

We do welcome input and merge requests to improve the tool!

1. idea

2. list features in order of importance

3. select top 50% of 2.

4. paper mockup with various iterations

5. code

6. revise with external feedback (usability study?)

7. go to 3/4/5.

never said it was a factor

we (and when I say "we" I mean "you" because I'm not from the US) should be more concerned about the un-separation of church and state and less about the design

i'd rather support 'get "in god we trust" off our money'

mediatemple has been offering ruby on rails for a while

rotflmao!
