I wish they had a method of automatically identifying relevant signs from images with GPS data. Sooner or later, cars and AR-enabled apps will be able to produce these as by-products of normal use.
- maxerickson 9y agoThere's multiple efforts along those lines. Mapillary provides sign detections to OSM: https://blog.mapillary.com/product/2017/02/06/towards-global-traffic-sign-recognition.html https://blog.mapillary.com/product/2017/02/06/towards-global... Telenav is doing similar through their OpenStreetCam project (but no good link). I'm not entirely sure, but I think they have the goal of running the detection locally. Mapbox recently used Bing Streetside imagery to detect turn restrictions (which are important for high quality routing): https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/daniel-j-h/diary/43242 https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/daniel-j-h/diary/43242 Mapbox and Telenav also compare their incoming position data with OSM and flag discrepancies (missing roads, turn restrictions again, stuff like that).
