Google Street View is certainly a handy
feature. You can get a look at a hotel you're planning to book to see what kind
of area it's in. You can also tell if it looks like it's worth the money by the
clear pictures. You can scan around a place you've never been to before to see
where to park and plan accordingly. So how does Google Street View have
pictures, for that matter?
The primary way they get their photos is with
their Google Street View cars, which have special cameras that take photographs
as they drive down public streets. Once the photographs have been taken, they
immediately use computer processing to make them ready for use on Google Maps.
The image-processing technology stick the photos to create the seamless (无缝的) 360-degree images that
you'll see on Street View.
Contributions from people can help keep Street
View images updated. If there's a tiny county that doesn't have Google Street
View cars, or a very geographically remote location where cars wouldn't be
available, Google can use images from its volunteers. Volunteers like Herve
Andrieu, an enthusiastic Google local guide and editor of googlemaps. guru have
67,000 photos on Google Maps.
In addition, Google also has a couple of other
types of vehicles better equipped to handle rough land than cars. There are
trolleys, snowmobiles, and three-wheelers, as well as a Street View Trekker.
This portable equipment allows people to bring the camera with them to get
images that cars never could.
