Researchers have developed new end-to-end machine learning software called DeepMapper. It could remove the need for manual updates to OpenStreetMap by leveraging machine learning technologies.
We are all familiar with Google Maps, the mapping solution run by the search giant, but did you know there are other mapping solutions like Bing Maps, HERE WeGo, and OpenStreetMap? OpenStreetMap (OSM) is unique among these because it is open source and doesn’t have the backing of a big tech company with lots of resources.
One of the big issues with the lack of resources is that it means OSM relies heavily on manual updates to its maps whereas companies like Google already use technology to do this automatically.
