Mapillary

So you can scroll and click with a gesture nobody can see you make.

In 2020, they crowdsourced a database called Mapillary.

I'm probably pronouncing that wrong.

But essentially, it's a picture of the physical world and training data for teaching machines to recognize what they're looking at.

some more advanced use cases and examples include city of florence utilizing the 2d 2d data shown earlier along with elevation data building models lidar data and imagery towards generating a full 3d digital twin of the city municipality of genoa is also doing more advanced work with immersive modeling and digital twin generation and map store performing impact simulations and creating enriched spatial awareness for urban planning They can also combine this highly immersive visualization with geostory capability to show the story of how land has changed around historic landmarks, for example.

We've also integrated Mapillary with 3D data from Genoa to integrate street level views and 3D space.

And I've heard of local governments actually using this workflow to catalog facilities and transportation assets and other features along their transportation networks.

MapStore and GeoNode come with dozens of plugins and extensions and both are highly customizable.

Uh, I think maps are really cool.

Like, a f- a good friend of mine worked at Mapillary for many years, and they got acquired by Meta.

Yep.

And now he runs his own mapping company, actually, and he travels the world, and he goes to all these conferences, and I'm sure you go to some of them, and it's, it's amazing at how even though it's niche, it's a huge ecosystem, which I would never have appreciated.
