Came here to say something similar. Mapillary has the option to indicate 45 deg to the left or right. This might be an option for town centres instead of the 90 deg. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. On 8 May 2019 10:08:16 am AEST, Sam Wilson wrote: >On 5/8

Hi Phil My old 1280x720 was setup for a rear quarter view for traffic sign capture. I was advised that the angle and shutter raster delay (slant) made detection problematic so I don't upload. I will however give it a try at 90 degrees. It's a USB webcam On 8/5/19 9:44 am, Phil Wyatt wrote:

Thanks Andrew I capture at 2fps with a BlackVue (via 30fps mp4). That was unfortunately a hard choice to do with the cost of the Internet connection. 5fps would have been nicer. Road name signs are then problematic not only from the framerate perspective, but that compression artefacts glug t

Hi Bob, You're doing some great work with collecting imagery data with Mapillary. We really appreciate that sort of data available for armchair mapping. I'd love to meet up for a coffee when you are back up in Armidale, and talk about your data collection process. I've been meaning to try and get

The higher resolution images and more frequent capture when at highway speeds are very helpful for making sure street name signs get captured and are readable, often I see reports from downstream users about a street name being wrong in OSM, so having this in Mapillary helps provide some ground tru
