How Google captures Street view? Step 1: Collecting Imagery: Google has dedicated vehicles that drive around and click 360° photographs of the locations.
Step 2: Aligning Imagery – To match each image to its geographic location, Google combines data from GPS, Speed, and direction to align the image perfectly to the location.
Step 3: Stitching 360° photos – To avoid gaps, Google takes slightly overlapping pictures and applies special image processing algorithms to lessen seams and create smooth transitions.
India had rejected the plans of Google to start street view over security concerns of sensitive defense installations. But India’s Geospatial policy helped Google to launch the feature in India.
Hope they also show the horrible roads and give credit to Prahlad Joshi.
Joshi and Deshpande are busy in cooking their own Food, so don’t ever expect the clean roads from them. Hubli is turning Bangalore in couple of years from now…
Pethetic roads in dharwad and hubli.. I request Prahlad Joshi to do something otherwise the image of twin city will be destroyed..
Yes correctly said
