  Driving Video Recorder (DVR) becoming popularized has led to an increasing demand for road video management by road maintenance agencies and the general public. To manage the increasing masses of road video files efficiently for various users, the Institute of Transportation (IOT) developed the easy-to-use and cost-effective “Street View Maker” which can enhance video management and access efficiency. By utilizing the features of the “Street View Maker”, anyone can easily become a street view expert.

  The total length of the highways in Taiwan is approximately 22 thousand kilometers. To ensure the safety and quality of road use, highway maintenance agencies not only patrol the road conditions according to the regulations, but also record the field conditions on videos by using DVR. Following video data increasing with time, how to manage the data, make them accessible, and compress them for storage efficiently become key issues.

  The IOT has developed the “Street View Maker” which successfully integrated the video-recording and satellite-positioning functions of DVR currently available on the market. This system can be applied easily and cost-effectively to enhance the management and access efficiency of videos. This application enables highway maintenance agencies and the general public to not only create latest street views rapidly, but also access data and display previous locations effectively for comparison purposes by dragging markers onto or directly entering road positions into Google Maps. In addition, this application greatly reduces the space required for storing street videos. By utilizing the features of the “Street View Maker”, you can easily create various street views (including those of streets and roads, railways, bicycle routes, footpaths, and forest trails), becoming a veritable street view expert.
