mapillary-seq-cleanup

This is a tool used by the author (littlebtc) in order to upload GoPro Hero 9+ timelapsed images, which is unable to check duplicates and cutoff sequences because the direction is missing in EXIF.

Tested with

• mapillary_tools v0.10.0
• GoPro Hero 10 (In theory Hero 9+ should work)

Installation

It is written in Rust and published on crates.io.

Install Rust and use Cargo to install it:

cargo install mapillary-seq-cleanup

Assume you have installed mapillary_tools, for all images stored in gptodo, Process the image description file between the process and upload steps:

mapillary_tools process gptodo --interpolate_directions --skip_process_errors && \
mapillary_seq_cleanup --timezone "Asia/Taipei" gptodo && \
mapillary_tools upload gptodo
