Mapillary is a platform for street-level imagery hosting over 2 billion geotagged images from around the world. This talk will explore Mapillary's capabilities, how to download map features, who is contributing, how to contribute, and why.
Since Mapillary launched in 2013, over 2 billion images have been contributed from places as far afield as Antarctica and Zimbabwe. Images can be uploaded from any device that creates geotagged images, whether it be the smartphone you have in your pocket or a commercial grade 360° camera. Every image is processed with computer vision to recreate the world in 3D and extract features useful for map making. These capabilities have attracted all sorts of map builders including advocates for pedestrian safety, humanitarian agencies, state and local transportation departments, OpenStreetMap contributors, ridesharing companies and more.
