9. What type of car is used to make ‘Google Street View’?
Ask.com: What type of car is used to make “Google Street View”?
Google Street View displays images taken from a fleet of specially adapted cars. Areas not accessible by car, like pedestrian areas, narrow streets, alleys and ski resorts, are sometimes covered by Google Trikes (tricycles) or (snowmobiles). On each of these vehicles there are nine directional cameras for 360 degrees views at a height of about 8.2 feet, or 2.5 meters, GPS units for positioning and three laser range scanners for the measuring of up to 50 metres 180 degrees in the front of the vehicle. There are also 3G/GSM/Wi-Fi antennas for scanning 3G/GSM and Wi-Fi hotspots. Recently, ‘high quality’ images are based on open source hardware cameras from Elphel. http://www.ask.com/wiki/Google_Street_View accessed 27 August 2011
