Can someone clean up this title/explain this project? I'm thinking this is simply screenshots of Google Maps failures?

I think the creator of the project found some failures in the 45° view of Google Maps and then he/she went to these locations and took a photograph. Then he/she edited these photos so that they looked like the Google Maps failures are real.

Anyway, it looks interesting.

It's highlighting some of the inaccuracies of google maps 45 degree angle views by showing how these buildings would look in real life if viewed from street level.

I assume he's taking stitching artifacts from Google Maps and making mockups of what they might look like from the ground. It's a bit hard to see that at first because Street View exists. Note that the vantage points from the ground are where pedestrians might plausibly go.

That's it exactly. She's taken stuff from her photo portfolio and warped it to match the Maps aerial photography. It's brilliant! But it probably has more impact for me since it's where I'm living and I've seen many of these buildings quite recently.

The Google maps views are pretty good for what I would assume is an automated (or mostly automated) stitching process; locally consistent, and the discontinuities seem to occur between buildings.

If you're wondering how Google generates these Street View images from the individual photographs and approximate camera position/orientation information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_adjustment http://lear.inrialpes.fr/pubs/2000/TMHF00/Triggs-va99.pdf

is it google maps or is it what buildings do when you're not looking?

Don't blink

Or sneeze. Ever noticed how occasionally, every single person on a street sneezes at exactly the same time? I've practiced keeping my eyes open during a sneeze to try to see what the buildings don't want us to see, but no luck yet :|

Interesting, but silly. You need some angle on the overhead view so you know what building it is. You can't recognise buildings by their roofs.

very conserved...anyone culated (´･Д･)」

Google Inception?
