This week marks the 15th anniversary of Street View, a service included in the Google Maps and Earth geographic information systems that provides street-level panoramic views (360 degrees of horizontal motion) and allows us to visit the world’s capitals as if we were there.
Street View has amassed a 220 billion images in a database that includes more than 100 countries and territories. To mark the anniversary, Google has announced a new camera system that conceals the performance, resolution and handling capabilities of those previously known to be installed in the company’s vehicles, but in a much smaller package.
The new camera system weighs less than 8 kilograms and can be sent virtually anywhere in the world. Google says the camera is small enough to be mounted on any roof-mounted vehicle and can be controlled remotely from a mobile device. It is also modular and can be upgraded with add-ons such as Lidar scanners to improve its functionality. Google is currently testing a new camera system and assumes its deployment in 2023.
In addition to cars, Google uses other devices, such as tricycles and snowmobiles, to take pictures. The state-of-the-art cameras are fifth-generation and include LIDAR measuring systems, a technology that allows you to determine the distance from the laser emitter to an object or surface using a pulsed laser beam. It has been used in professional fields (geology, optics, topography or atmospheric physics) for years and has recently become popular with the general public when it gets into tablets or smartphones or, as far as we go, into Google cars (Waymo) up to after creating / updating your maps.
Another newly added feature is the ability to view historical Street View imagery on Android and iOS devices. Simply tap the photo to view location information, then select “Show more data” to see previous images of the same place and see how the area has changed over time.
The ambitious project of building a 360-degree map of the world continues, and the truth is that this Street View (along with Google Maps) is one of Google’s most used and valuable services. And with everything deserved. Drag the yellow doll (Pegman) and you will be able to visit the world is a joy.
