I helped out with this project, happy to answer any questions. I was involved from the beginning, but my biggest contribution was on the deep learning side that does the tile-matching. I helped with the initial prototype using DIGITS, Caffe, and a bunch of Python. Then Aman Tiwari moved us to a more accurate 34-layer ResNet trained in TensorFlow, and a more efficient nearest neighbor lookup using a new implementation of CoverTree search.
I see that the satellite pictures come from openstreetmap, but I'm not familiar how often those pictures are updated, anybody know?<p>When they are updated, does Terrapattern recognize the change an update the corresponding photos?
This is quite fun, thanks for sharing. I would be interested in trying it out with different tile sizes too. I keep trying to pick objects that are on the corners of tiles.
awesome, very, works great on sports fields <a href="http://sf.terrapattern.com/?_ga=1.257993994.1025291016.1464207852&lat=37.6480227&lng=-122.4246675" rel="nofollow">http://sf.terrapattern.com/?_ga=1.257993994.1025291016.14642...</a>
