Rapid GIS data collection using 360 cameras - Case studies in Nauru and Thursday Island
summary
Vehicle-mounted GoPro Max 360 records 360° video with built‑in GPS, batteries last about two hours and are swapped from a 12 V charger; video batch‑processed in GoPro desktop app then uploaded to Mapillary and Google Streetview. Mapillary’s computer vision extracts features — power poles, signs, driveways — exported into QGIS or edited in OSM via the Mapillary JOSM plugin. Case studies show the workflow captures all roads on Nauru in seven hours and a complete Street View for Thursday Island, with caveats: offline processing, API/plugin breakages and heavy 3D processing.
