Hi all, following this article in MIT Technology Review (http://www.technologyreview.com/news/525216/putting-crowdsourcing-on-the-map/), and this discussion on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Liberationtech/status/442436326047367168) I think you might appreciate testing out Mapillary and contributing. Here are some of the areas we want to cover over the next few years:
- trails, tracks, national parks, nature reserves, camping sites and other areas where cars and professional equipment is not available, not feasible or not able to get there in a timely fashion - monitoring and assessment/follow-up of projects, construction sites and other areas over time - mapping of areas where no other visual information is available (slums, rural areas, catastrophic sites) - monitoring of crops, forrests etc over time - private mode for non-pixelated and private pictures of your back-yard, family and car :) Feel free to join in, this took about 3h for two people walking with smartphones: http://www.mapillary.com/map/im/16/33.9834918917949/-118.46370935440063 /peter (@peterneubauer) Disclaimer: I am part of the Mapillary team. -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
