Mapillary is a tool that allows anyone to create their own street level photographs, map them, and share them via web GIS technology. *The idea behind Mapillary is a simple but powerful one: *Take photos of a place of interest as you walk along using the Mapillary mobile app. *Next, upload the photos to Mapillary again using the app. They will be connected with others’ and combined into a street level photo view. *Then, explore your places and those from thousands of other users around the world.
Mapillary is part of the rapidly growing crowdsourcing movement, also known as citizen science, which seeks to generate “volunteered geographic information” content from ordinary citizens. *Mapillary is therefore more than a set of tools–it is a community, with its own MeetUps and ambassadors. *Mapillary is also a new Esri partner, and through an ArcGIS integration, local governments and other organizations can understand their communities in real-time, and “the projects they’re working on that either require a quick turnaround or frequent updates, can be more streamlined.” *These include managing inventory and city assets, monitoring repairs, inspecting pavement or sign quality, and assessing sites for new train tracks. * Other organizations are also using Mapillary: *For example, the*Missing Maps Project*is a collaboration between the American Red Cross, British Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières-UK (MSF-UK, or Doctors Without Borders-UK), and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The project aims to map the most vulnerable places in the developing world so that NGOs and individuals can use the maps and data to better respond to crises affecting these areas.
