@asturksever I just watched your presentation, A review of Mapillary-generated map data and how accuracy compares across devices.
Do you know if more recent iPhone Pro models with dual frequency GPS have resulted in a big upgrade in accuracy over the iPhone 11 you used back then?
Also, are storage concerns the only reason that captures in the iPhone app are so sparse? Couldn’t we have a toggle in the app so we can switch to higher density captures if we personally have plenty of available storage space on our iPhones?
In terms of capture on the iPhone app, in cities it is set to be one image very 3 meters - this is generally sufficient for computer vision algorithms as well as humans doing mapping as it provides sufficient overlap between frames and logical browsing. If you increase density significantly beyond that, you are also likely to face phone overheating, as phones aren’t necessarily made to take photos continuously over a long period of time. (There are other potential issues as well like storage which you mention, and also upload times). There is no setting for higher density, but you can capture in another app if you’d like and then upload via the Mapillary app or the desktop uploader. Could you share more about why you are looking for higher density?
