I bought a GoPro Max to upload some imagery and record where bike racks are in my city. I uploaded a sequence or two from my phone two weeks ago, then uploaded some sequences from my rides.
It’s been a week and I’m still not seeing any traffic signs or object detection in the newer sequences. Here’s the problem sequences:
In the sequences I uploaded from my phone, there’s almost no object detection except for very inaccurate ones. For example, this pole is completely incorrect:
Hi folks, I messaged Mapillary support and got this response:
Hello,
In this case, processing is likely just delayed. Objects should show up in a few days/weeks. Some background: During initial processing, we basically process data in the order it was uploaded, because every uploaded sequence can be handled completely independently. For continuous processing (3d alignment+map object generation), this ordering is relaxed a bit. During 3D alignment, we not only need to process new data, but also nearby existing data to make a uniform 3D model of an area. Simultaneous dense uploads would cause memory overflows in parts of the pipeline if we would process strictly by upload time – that’s why we cut the world into a grid and only take the oldest X uploads per grid tile. This helps the pipeline to ingest even dense areas (piece by piece), but it also means that processing can be delayed in certain areas.
Thanks,
Nav @ Mapillary
I’m gonna give it another few weeks and see if it updates. I uploaded a lot of imagery (at least 10 gigabytes worth I think) so I definitely understand that it could take a min to sort through. Also I can still map with the pics while I wait.
