OpenStreetCam, formerly called OpenStreetView, is a project to collect crowdsourced street-level photographs for improving OpenStreetMap[1] operated by TeleNav.[2] Collected imagery is published under a CC-BY-SA license and most of the project's code is open source.[1]
Contributors gather imagery with their smartphones using an Android or iOS app.[1][3] It is also possible to upload images captured with other cameras. The OpenStreetCam app supports using an OBD-II dongle plugged into the vehicle; in concert with the mobile device's GPS, OSC can derive more accurate image locations. The app also recognizes and processes street signs in real time while capturing imagery.[1] Once the imagery is recorded, it is uploaded, processed, and published to the website.[3]
OpenStreetMap editors can access OSC images using the iD editor or JOSM plugin.[1]
OpenStreetCam's purpose resembles that of Mapillary. The main difference between the two is that OpenStreetCam's web and mobile apps are open-source, whereas Mapillary is not. OpenStreetCam also makes it easier for user to delete their uploaded photos in case they change their mind about contributing.[1]
History
OpenStreetCam was founded in 2009 as OpenStreetView.[1] In 2016, TeleNav took over the openstreetview.org domain and started its own service under the name [4]. The service was renamed to OpenStreetCam after an intervention by an unnamed trademark holder.[5]
