Here are some other samples of which I am concerned about. Do you use Google Maps?
In these days, it is impossible to find a man with a smartphone and without knowing about Google Maps. Most of the cars have GPS, most of the place have their position on Google Maps. Highways, prominent places, open squares and also a number of locations have 3D views as if one can explore in real bright daylight.
However, An interesting thing draw my attention. One day, I was checking the location of my home and nearby places. Interesting, noticed sound of places were has faded as if grass were devoid of sunlight. Those places are still as the same, the look more white than the neighborhoods. It’s something like they have difference in contrast of Black and White. Doing some researches, I thought it was like a collage and if those shots were taken in different times, it’s possible to have such blocks(image:2,3)
I have another example, but I can show you, replicates the meeting point of two rivers, like a ray has been drawn and two places are separated.Therefore,these cases made me wonder why there would be no-pattern-rectangle or straight line?
Possibility there is, it’s the image stitching error, maybe it could be weather, or else there may be some reflecting objects
The peculiar visual artifacts observed on Google Maps can be attributed to several factors. It’s intriguing to uncover the reasons behind these anomalies. I found those reasons online…
Google Maps compiles images from various sources, and when these images are taken at slightly different times or from different angles, misalignments can occur. This results in visible seams or unusual lines and blocks.
The images might be captured at different times of day or under different weather conditions, leading to variations in lighting and contrast. This can make some areas appear whiter or more faded than others.
Surfaces that reflect light, such as rivers or glass buildings, can create distortions in the images. These reflective surfaces might cause inconsistencies in the captured images, leading to strange visual effects.
Sometimes, the processing and rendering of these images can have technical issues, causing visual artifacts like unexpected lines and blocks.
I am eager to know from experts what are the actual reasons. Thank you for reading!
