OpenStreetView is a project that allows users to capture and upload street level photos with location metadata. The photos are then moderated by multiple users before being added to the main database. Extracted data and tags can be added to photos. An API allows searching and downloading photos as well as adding tags or marking photos as unsafe. Licenses determine how photos can be used by others. The goal is to eventually allow navigating between street level photos on a map.

15. What is (Open) Street View? Capturing photos Storing and maintaining database Extracting data and metadata Presenting imagery to users

16. What is (Open) Street View? Capturing photos Storing and maintaining database Extracting data Presenting imagery to users

17. Capturing Photos Normal Camera + Separate GPS Mobile device with combined GPS + Camera, and bespoke software Higher-grade cameras and other equipment

18. Upload Web upload, multiple files via flash FTP - username/password given from the site Flickr/Panoramio import API, native clients

19. Import EXIF tags are parsed for location, direction and tilt information Entry is created in OSV database Multiple sizes are created

20. Moderation Photo cannot be viewed until it has been moderated by N people Moderators chosen by the system, can’t ask your friends Moderators verify that image is valid and blur out sensitive parts

23. After Moderation Photo becomes part of the main database Anyone can view it whether a member of OpenStreetView or not

24. Extracting Data Images can be tagged with key=value pairs Tags can apply to an area of the image or the whole image Can also mark an image as “unsafe” to be moderated again

26. Extracting Data Moderated images would be available for people to download Teams working on computer vision projects could use OpenStreetView as a source dataset

27. API Upload images for processing Tagging images that have been moderated Marking images as unsafe Cannot moderate images through third party sites

28. API Search for images by bounding box and tags Download information and metadata for images Download resized and original sized images

29. License User can specify license that covers individual images Users of the images can choose to only retrieve images covered by an acceptable license Could also opt for “OpenStreetView Choice” License

30. License Metadata for an image covered by same license as image itself? Images may be removed from the database, have to have provision for users of the images to be told and remove their copies

31. Presenting Imagery Start with markers on a map

32. Presenting Imagery Go on to highlighting roads with coverage, ability to navigate between photos
