[OSM-talk] Google StreetView From Bikes

[simon at mungewell.org]

I meant to send this to the list

> As an idea for 'openstreetviewbike' you could use a single camera pointing
> straight up with a rotating mirror above it in order to capture in all
> directions at once.
>
> The velocity of the bike would probably be OK to still capture pictures
> with close enough proximity to be useful to OSM. You might want to use
> some for of digital shutter/sports mode to combat bluring.
>
> If you were taking discrete pictures (rather than full video) a simple
> switch could be used to tag each 'picture' with a GPS location, and/or to
> cause a PC/Netbook/etc to store the image to disk.
