5777	"Another ""sharpening-algorithm"" for Bing aerials?"	kellerma	team	"Hi,

for big areas of germany Google(GlobalData?) and Bing(Intergraph?) have the same aerial provider: GeoContent.
It seems that nevertheless Google's pictures look sharper. Especially when the
tiles are only available til zoom z=17 (in JOSM: about 60 m) and you have to zoom in to 30 m
the artifacts grow fast with the actual (soft-)sharpening in JOSM enabled.

Would it be possible to have another sharpening-algorithm (more like Google's?)
to provide shaper pictures without (or at least - less) artifacts?

Thank you very much.

PS
On the downside Google's lakes are very ""blue-ish"", a feature which might be not so good to repeat ;-)"	enhancement	closed	minor		Core imagery	latest	wontfix	sharpen bing
