I can reccomend [https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary\_tools/blob/master/python/remove\_duplicates.py](https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_tools/blob/master/python/remove_duplicates.py) which removes duplicate images, e.g. when stopping for at red light or going very slow.

Also requires [https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary\_tools/blob/master/python/lib\_gps\_exif.py](https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_tools/blob/master/python/lib_gps_exif.py) and PIL or Pillow, run: pip install Pillow or see [http://pillow.readthedocs.org/](http://pillow.readthedocs.org/) to install the latter.

I’m using a script that I combined from the existing ones to split all pictures from the SD of my Garmin Virb into sequences and upload them without further interaction.  
See here: [https://github.com/moenk/mapillary-tools/blob/master/python/mapillary\_uploader.py](https://github.com/moenk/mapillary-tools/blob/master/python/mapillary_uploader.py)  
Just connect your camera, adjust path and credentials and upload all.
