Groups from all over the world are using Mapillary to document their focus area, generate extracted features for asset management, observe changing land use trends over time, integrate into GIS and data science workflows for decision making, and much more. 

Curious as to what your organization can accomplish by contributing to Mapillary? Keep reading!

With Mapillary, you can...

• Capture & upload your own street-level imagery with any camera, anywhere, and put places on the map through a collaborative street-level view of the world.
• Explore your world via our web app and mobile apps. Move through images with the smooth transitions powered by our state-of-the-art Structure from Motion technology. Share imagery on your website or socials.
• Extract spatial data about the places you care about. Implement it into your database, workflow, or application using our GIS tool integrations, the Mapillary Python SDK, the Mapillary API,  the MapillaryJS JavaScript library, or grab a geojson directly from our web app.
• Update your maps with details that are not visible from aerial images. Mapillary imagery integrates seamlessly with OpenStreetMap, making editing the world's best map easy. 
• Make asset management cost effective using Mapillary map features. When organizations upload their own imagery and host it on Mapillary, they're able to capture exactly where they want with the frequency that serves their needs. Our computer vision technology auto-extracts the most common asset management objects (40+ feature classes) and traffic signs (1,500+ sign classes), minimizing your digitizing time! 
• Open-source your imagery to help everyone make better decisions about cities and roads, mobility and navigation, and autonomous driving. Several research datasets have been created using Mapillary imagery, including our own Mapillary Research Datasets. None of them would have been possible without our user community contributing from all over the world!

Advanced support for organizations

Mapillary for Organizations is a feature on Mapillary that enables organizations to host the contributions of many teammates in one spot. By creating an organization account, you'll be able to view, filter, and download your team's imagery in a centralized place, as opposed to working with disjointed coverage across multiple individual Mapillary accounts.

With Mapillary for Organizations, you can:

• Contribute street-level imagery owned by your organization
• Assign different permissions roles to team members
• Download your data as a GeoJSON to use in external tools or a GIS
• Use the Mapillary API or Mapillary Python SDK to query your imagery, explore its metadata, and integrate it into your workflows
• Use MapillaryJS to build a custom app to analyze and view your organization's imagery

Organization Case Studies

No Mapillary use-case is ever 100% the same. Our organizational users range from national, state, and local governments, asset management companies, ride share groups, humanitarian groups and nonprofits, and more! If you're considering leveraging Mapillary at your organization, check out a few of our favorite case studies below.

The City of Detroit: the most covered city on Mapillary

The City of Detroit adopted Mapillary at scale in 2018 to help address an asset management crisis. Six years later, 99.8% of all public roads have been mapped, making Detroit the undisputed champion of city-level contributions on Mapillary. Read up on how they scaled their street level imagery program and why Mapillary has played a crucial part in it.

Be Group: the Vietnamese rideshare company using Mapillary to reduce travel time

Be Group is a fast-growing ridesharing company in Vietnam. Since joining Mapillary, they have contributed almost 9 million images and 27,000 km. Be Group uses Mapillary to identify street signs that restrict vehicle address (pulling these from the Mapillary API), determine and catalog the width of roads, and update their database of pick-up and drop-off points.

YouthMappers Nigeria: improving health facility access information with Mapillary

The Federal University of Technology in Akure, Nigeria and YouthMappers brought together 75 students to validate the official healthcare facility data registry and incorporate electrification status. The students captured imagery of Akure using the Mapillary app on their phones. Mapillary’s computer vision tools were used to automatically extract features like power poles.
