@matheusgomesms Did you compare side by side the Gopro Max and the X3 ? The last time I did it, the quality wasn’t really better for the X3. That was … different.

Wow, that’s an old post :-) It was working only for static capture.

Since then, I’ve added some Pcb to control the camera and get a good sync to be able to capture 360 images when I walk, a good Gnss receiver (RTK), and many other things.

Here is a recent sequence currently in blurring process : https://panoramax.openstreetmap.fr/#focus=pic&map=20/48.8787651/2.3585719&pic=9915ecc4-0c8b-47df-860c-3b3eed2f1997&speed=250&xyz=188.41/-5.88/30

@jakecopp Your post inspired me a lot when I read it last year! I was trying the same thing, but I didn’t success with large areas.

Osm should add a “geofence” feature. That way, gpx file would be cut near where we live/work/other area we want to hide….

I’ve used Insta 360 X3, Pro, and Titan. I don’t understand people who say that Insta software is way better than Gopro, IMHO Insta360 is not good at all. Maybe it’s ok for video capture, but not for our goal : StreetView images.

Yes, you can use multiple camera to get a better resolution, and it’s exactly what I do, with 6 cameras. But trust me, it’s not easy.

Hello !

Just to let you know that i’ve just release a style for Josm which displays the traffic sign direction. I hope it will help the contributors to add the direction tags.

Bravo !

J’ai dégommé le rose pour le sud de la Loire-Atlantique, et maintenant j’attaque le nord. Je sais à quel point c’est long, alors que je ne vais pas autant dans les détails que toi. Alors encore bravo !!

Et mille merci pour ne pas avoir collé les landuse sur les routes ;-)

Thanks,

For the stitching process, I use Hugin and some scripts to automate the process : https://github.com/Stefal/Stitching_scripts

I made some custom PCB to control the cameras, and include them inside it. A raspberry and an arduino send commands to the 6 cams. There are some pictures here: https://twitter.com/i/events/786551055387467778

Yes, the helical antenna isn’t visible on the jpeg, and don’t need a ground plane like the ann-mb. It’s not the perfect setup because as you noticed we have to turn the Max to open the SD slot, but it’s a good solution for pedestrian capture.

Maybe we should use some more rigid metal to create an enclosure more open near the SD slot.

BTW: We usually use Lefebure Ntrip Client. I love the always visible Gps/Float/Rtk icon on the android notification bar. When I don’t need this icon, I use this FOSS android client https://github.com/ykasidit/bluetooth_gnss

For the antenna, we choose a different setup, with an helicoidal antenna on top of the cam :

Hi!

Nice setup!

For the gpx/jpeg correlation, you shoud try Josm, it’s the best solution I know, with all the available aerial imageries, subsecond time, offset, direction and position offset.

@Marcos Dione I don’t know any phone with a connector for an external antenna. The only solution I know is using an external bluetooth receiver.
