FOSS4G 2022 general tracks

How to Mapillary - Getting started with Street-level Mapping
08-26, 10:00–10:30 (Europe/Rome), Room Verde

Mapillary is the platform that makes street-level images and map data available to scale and automate mapping. There are many tools available within Mapillary’s ecosystem, as well as many real world use cases where Mapillary can have an impact. In this talk, we will give an overview of the state of the Mapillary platform in 2022. This will include a look at compatible camera devices, upload methods, data and imagery management, download methods, integrations, and stories about users who apply Mapillary to solve a challenge.

You should walk away from this talk knowing how you want to use Mapillary to improve maps important to you, and what tools you need to get started.

If you are interested in improving OpenStreetMap, contributing to open data, capturing imagery in your community, or leveraging Mapillary street-level imagery and GIS data into your professional work, this talk is for you. No coding or technical experience is necessary, and the tools and features available can be adapted to any skill level. Join us!
