Stitching of satellite images

Not a direct map request, rather looking for some assistance. From USGS EarthExplorer, I downloaded some early satellite images (the low-resolution preview version, high resolution is not available for free). These image are not georeferenced and show only very small areas, so for georeferenciation, the images need to be stitched first. Have not done that before, so the question, is there free software for that purpose?--Antemister (talk) 19:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Antemister, what product are you using from the EarthExplorer? I didn't even know there were things you could purchase from the site-- are you sure it isn't a free download? A georeferenced raster could very easily be merged in QGIS or similar. – Isochrone (talk) 21:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

It is about the "declassified data", it contain images from the early US reconnaissance satellites in the 1968s. The images are scanned, but only in low resolution and not properly georeferenced. What I want to do is drawing the shorelines of Aral Sea in 1968, for that I have to download a few dozens of these narrow stripes and then stitch them before georefencing.--Antemister (talk) 21:28, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

This map is really useful in illustrating why the U.S. state of Virginia was split in two during the American Civil War, but it's difficult to read, and a colorful SVG would be better!

Presidential primaries and caucuses Map Rules

Open primaries in the United States

Request

Create a map on Presidential primaries and caucuses Rules Map?? For example which states have Open primary/caucus, which states have Closed primary/caucus and which have Semi-closed primary/caucus. Each state can be colored in a different color. Dark red for Closed primary/caucus, red for Semi-closed primary/caucus, and light red for Open primary/caucus.

Here are the sources for each state rules in 2020.

I would like a Map for the Republican primary/caucuses rules, if you could make an extra one for the Democratic rules that would be good.Muaza Husni (talk) 08:56, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Discussion

@Muaza Husni it's a little more complex than just these three categories because of various state statutes governing how these things work. See this document from National Conference of State Legislatures[1]. It would only be possible to make it for a presidential election year as far as I can tell because some states allow that individual parties to change at their discretion. Would you be satisfied with a map for just 2024? It will take me some time to verify the table listed in the above source but I will make this for you if you're fine with just a map for 2024. Philipnelson99 (talk) 12:14, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Philipnelson99 Yes you can make a map for 2024. Muaza Husni (talk) 05:58, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

@Muaza Husni after looking at it I'm not sure how easy it is to distinguish between open/semi-open. Do you have a preference...? Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

@Philipnelson99 Maybe the states could be grouped, with just two options 1. (Open/Semi-open primary) and (closed-semi closed primary). Would that help.Muaza Husni (talk) 03:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

I've started work on this but I don't think I'm going to have time to finish it since it involves collecting the data by hand. [

Here is what I have so far. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@Philipnelson99 Hi so what do you think We should do with you saying I don't think I'm going to have time to finish it since it involves collecting the data by hand I was thinking instead of collecting the date by hand would it just be easer to do the 2020 rules from the ballotpedia or what do you think We should do??.

And I was looking into the Map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Republican_Primary_status_2024_(incomplete).svg

I can't found the details of the color system? is it dark red for closed primary, lite red for Semiclosed and orange is open primary??. Thank you for your work so far.Muaza Husni (talk) 03:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

2021 International Brotherhood of Teamsters election

Request

I'm hoping that someone could create an election map showing the results of the 2021 election for the general presidency of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the largest trade unions in Canada and the United States.

The map would show the results of the election broken down by region (Eastern, Central, Southern, Western, and Canada). The American regions are composed of the following states/territories:

• Eastern: CT, DC , DE, MA, MD, ME, NC, NH, NJ, NY, PA, PR, RI, SC, VA, VT, WV
• Central: IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MN, MO, NE, OH, WI
• Southern: AL, AR, FL, GA, LA, MS, OK, TN, TX
• Western: AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA

I imagine it would be based on a map like File:North America blank map with state and province boundaries.png, but the only internal borders it would show would be between regions (rather than between every province and state). Ideally, it would also include Puerto Rico (but I support that could always be added later if need be).

It would be coloured according the popular vote in each region, using shades of the colours used in the article's infobox. The regional results are available at ibtvote.org/Election-Results. Thanks, Graham (talk) 02:35, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
