[talk-au] What data is useful - request for ideas

[Bob Cameron]

Thanks Andrew

I capture at 2fps with a BlackVue (via 30fps mp4). That was 
unfortunately a hard choice to do with the cost of the Internet 
connection. 5fps would have been nicer. Road name signs are then 
problematic not only from the framerate perspective, but that 
compression artefacts glug the image up somewhat. I have some more tests 
to do that might help that.

It should be relatively simple to code up for road surface type and 
width. I wonder if a tool will ever appear that allows autoregen on a 
per road segment basis? It would also have to know what do do about 
single lane sealed roads with large gravel shoulders. (common in many 
rural areas) When the sealed section goes it suddenly becomes dual lane 
gravel!

I am considering doing entire towns if they are 10 streets or less. I 
have to do it in both directions if sign data is needed though. I am 
also happy to do a more intense capture of a small area (say 5 or 10fps) 
on request.
