Python interface to download GSV panoramas in parallel.
Install the requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
It is possible to obtain the panorama ids providing a list of points using the tool in the metadataret folder. Open index.html in a browser and provide a txt file containing latitude and longitude pairs in the format:
- lat long\n
Afterwards, using the dwl_multiple() method is possible to download in parallel multiple images. Here's an example of a possible implementation:
from imtool import ImageTool
# Import tool
tool = ImageTool()
# Specify panorama idenfitiers array
panos = ['fS6TugPzyIuvnTrptOK0mg', 'Q9qGjZth2vH5XOHrmv6Zpg']
# Provide a list of custom identifiers to name the images
ids = [1,2]
# Final size of the image
size = (946, 473)
# Number of threads
nthreads = 8
# Horizontal Google Street View tiles
h_tiles = 26
# Vertical Google Street View tiles
v_tiles = 13
# Output path for the images
out_path = '../im/'
# Chose whether to have final images split vertically in two equal images
# The function compose_folder() can be used to compose the downloaded images in a second time
cropped = True
# Chose whether to have final images in one single file
full = False
# Call function
ImageTool.dwl_multiple(panos, ids, nthreads, size, v_tiles, h_tiles, out_path, cropped, full)The same example is implemented in the file example.py.
