Street View images promised more accurate by upgrading the device to the roof of Google vehicles. Also to improve the artificial intelligence of Google.
Until now, what was known about the photographic device that fitted Google Street View cars was essentially the presence of fifteen cameras with a resolution of 15 megapixels. The group had not experienced any real change since 2009.
Thanks to a Wired report, we now learn that the cameras used for 360 ° Street View imagery go from fifteen to seven on the roof of cars and at the top of the device. Each sensor has a resolution of 20 megapixels.
At the front and rear are two laser radars used for positioning in the environment, and at the base two cameras for HD photos taken at the sides. They are designed to capture building and shop fronts, as well as panels in the streets.

The data is used to feed Google's machine learning algorithms to allow for a whole process of identification and indexing. In charge of engineering and Google Maps products, Jen Fitzpatrick wants the service to one day answer questions such as: "What is the name of the pink shop next to the church around the corner?"
It's no surprise that Street View's 360 ° imagery is only one facet of the huge data collection that takes place and serves several services, with a link that will become increasingly close with the Google Assistant.
