Mapillary vs Plastar

Mapillary is the street-level imagery platform that scales and automates mapping using collaboration, cameras, and computer vision. Anyone can capture images of any place, as often as needed, with any camera—including smartphones. Mapillary combines all images into a collaborative street-level view of the world that’s available for anyone to explore and use for improving maps, cities, and mobility. Computer vision technology provides a smooth viewing experience and speeds up mapping through machine-extracted map data. Capturing with the Mapillary mobile app is the easiest way to join our contributor network. Let’s get started! CREATE YOUR OWN STREET-LEVEL VIEWS You control when and where to capture to create the freshest street-level imagery. Mapillary’s technology combines all images into a navigable view and blurs faces and license plates for privacy.

Millions of images are added to the dataset every week, which you can explore right here in the mobile app. MAKE BETTER MAPS Use imagery and machine-extracted data to add details to maps and geospatial datasets.
