Updating Google Maps with Deep Learning and Street View
- natch 10y agoThere's an additional challenge in Taiwan, where due to the superior pinyin transliteration system being politically unpalatable (because it originates with the self-described communist government of mainland China), they have eschewed pinyin and have never settled on one consistent romanization scheme for street names. Therefore in Taiwan there are places where you can see the street name spelled in different ways on two sides of the same street. Of course this isn't a problem for the Chinese characters, only for the romanized spellings, to the extent those are of interest to Google's data collectors.
