I have a lot of misfit pictures to delete. But it takes a lot of clicking around for one picture. It used to be easier. ---

I stopped being concerned about my lower quality or misfit pictures years ago, and regard that 99% acceptable is good enough. I use the tools BlackVue upload where there us no facility to edit/delete individual frames without major process changes and increase in upload cost beforehand. ie not worth my time investment. And I preprocess locally (before upload) for my own OSM work. ---

I’m curious, if you don’t mind, what is involved in preprocess. I’ve thought about getting myself set up up do something like that where I can run some scripts to auto tweak images and such. I assume there’s tools out there but I haven’t looked yet. Having a new computer with plenty of drive space has me thinking it’s time to dive in. Grax ---

It is mostly covered in my OSM diary, but basically I process/geoencode the BlackVue Vids to 4K images at 1FPS, choose those that have an audio annotation (me talking into camera about the new/changed object) then scroll back/forth through images and auto cut/paste the location into OSMiD. With all the real world data visible/heard (including the Maxar etc overhead view) I can then create the OSM object. [https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/bob3bob3/diary](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/bob3bob3/diary) I thought I pasted a similar note in this group too. I dont use the mapillary\_tools to preprocess as not all the GPS data written to EXIF. Using ffmpeg, exiftool etc I can also limit to 1FPS. (actually key frames only) ---

My region is already overpictured. The bad pictures really become an annoyance to everyone. ---

filipc, for what it’s worth they don’t annoy me. Cheers! 🙂 Did Mapillary add some automation to grade pictures on their quality? If so, having a filter for that would be useful. ---

I do not know how to stop the capturing. Here is one important and good picture and hundreds dark. > **[Mapillary](https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=50.985587700003&lng=4.470441&z=19.9&focus=photo&pKey=828015012167797&mapStyle=OpenStreetMap)** > > Street-level imagery, powered by collaboration and computer vision.
