Beyond LiDAR and automated sensors, human photography captures the "why" of a place. This talk draws inspiration from Panoramio and Flickr, questioning whether human-captured imagery remains a vital layer for modern mapping and exploring what this looks like today.

This talk will cover some of the following areas: 1. An overview of Mapillary. 2. Who is contributing and some interesting case studies. 3. Some of the recent updates including 2.0 mobile apps, NeRFs, and improved upload. 4.

Mapillary is a platform for street-level imagery hosting over 2 billion geotagged images from around the world. This talk will explore Mapillary's capabilities, how to download map features, who is contributing, how to contribute, and why.

Use cases should drive product development, not the other way around. Maps and the products we use to consume them have the biggest impact on the world when these principles are adhered to.

Mapillary is an open platform for street-level imagery and map data that began in 2013. Since then around 1.8 billion images have been contributed from around the world.

Mapping is time-consuming and requires a high volume of a workforce when it comes to keep maps up to date periodically. This brings the need of finding alternative approaches to keep maps up to date.

OSGeo has existed in Oceania in various forms for quite a while now. Some of the major contributors to projects such as QGIS are based in Oceania and open geo events have been organised in the region for many years.

How useful are map features automatically extracted from street-level images? Can they be trusted? These are some of the questions we tried to answer through community campaigns and student-led research in 2019.
