So what’s “phoneuploader”?
It seems to be a relatively new “user” with ~140 million images: Mapillary .
Most of these seem to be in Russia.
Many if the images are rather low on the quality scale, including literal 50% of the image covered by car dashboard, and even completely black image sequences.
What is that, how is it related to Mapillary, and how does it affect the goals both for quality, and frequency of coverage?
The worst part is that there are a lot of “wrong photos” (photos with black images, some table or paper images at home etc.) & “wrong coordinates” (like travelling by aircraft)…
Is there some policy about that in Mapillary? Or ability to filter out some user…
@pavolg Thanks for reporting this issue. Wrong geotagged images from this user have been deleted.
We’re also scheduling deletion for inaccurate images from phoneuplaoder. Please share sequence key of any other inaccurate sequences on Mapillary, so we can clean them up.
@tastrax We’re working on user interface where you will able to request deletion, for now you can keep reporting bad sequences under this post so I can clean up them regularly.
Would Mapillary envision a solution that could geo-locate badly misplaced images if enough correctly geolocated images are available? Perhaps with some manual nudge here or there.
Sometimes GoPro camera has GPS precision issues and throws images hundreds of metres off, settling a bit later. The images are still useful just… badly positioned. Manually fixing them is a massive effort (and that feature seems to be gone anyway).
