The project is more or less abandoned.<p>It was scheduled to shut down last year: <a href="https://twitter.com/golan/status/976202325076467712" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/golan/status/976202325076467712</a><p>It's also open source, though the code hasn't been touched in a few years: <a href="https://github.com/CreativeInquiry/terrapattern" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/CreativeInquiry/terrapattern</a><p>[edit: noted shutdown year]

Hi folks, I'm one of the creators of Terrapattern. It's correct that the project (created in 2015) is now essentially 'abandoned': we are no longer updating the code and datasets. The project is currently running with a very limited compute instance and (furthermore) it looks like we hit our API limits this morning, possibly as a result of this article :( I'll see if I can get it to open up again.
A similar counterpart tool of matching land imagery (like mountain ranges) could be quite useful too. Especially for investigating things like this <a href="https://twitter.com/Europol/status/1051812094214066177" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/Europol/status/1051812094214066177</a>
Nice. Unfortunately it stopped working after a couple of results. I get this google maps error now - <a href="https://imgur.com/a/Yf9Bv5l" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/Yf9Bv5l</a>
This is pretty cool :)<p>Minor nit: the plural of cul-de-sac is culs-de-sac<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cWGzd21ENI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cWGzd21ENI</a>
