How can we become trusted verifiers ?

Hi,

I’m a trusted photographer interested in becoming a trusted verifier ;

Indeed it seems that some people can cumulate these functions - we can imagine that the assessment process for their production is easier for them. I’ve noticed that when I post a 360 it’s practically always refused , except when I repost it 3 or 4 times (no montage, full resolution , little signature near the nadir ; so 100% conformal to google’s chart ) . What if the trusted verifier is a rival, searching to keep his sector ? I find that a bit of transparency for this process should avoid this kind of competition .

Add the 360 with streetview app, it’s backwards, it’s clumsy but it works.

I would like to do all my uploads and editing of tours on a Computer rather then a phone or tablet.

It just doesn’t have the professional feeling.

Ok, so how can we get trusted verifiers identities near our working areas if they are allowed to judge on a photo quality ? Should’nt there exist a list as for trusted photographers ? I just want to be sure it’s an impartial process since 2 trusted verifiers/photographers would potentially work together to keep a kind of monopoly on a region as one can money his services.

Can you post a link to a sphere that has been refused 2-3 times then got approved?

And how do you manage to get spheres refused.

What is your workflow, can you describe it.

As I said earlier, upload with streetview app and it’s there, no one can refuse it if sphere is ok.

You said you had some edit done to it, that can actually be the problem.

TV has nothing to do with photos quality.

@Cooker3 you are talking about STREET VIEW TRUSTED photographer program, not TRUSTED VERIFIER program.

I am of the opinion to take a photograph and verify the contents related to this object which need to be brought on Google Map.

After ascertaining the related evidences, the details may be added for final additions

@PatricS : yes, this is an example → https://goo.gl/maps/hzpCHPpd9qM2 ;

I shoot with an APS-C, my edit just consists of adding one or two little watermarks on the ground ; I control the exif metadata injection process; I find it important to keep this type of processing in order not to be compared to one-shot poor quality 360 cams ( as I’ve tested with google loan service ) whose market is video contents.

I upload it via google map on a desktop computer; what makes me think that someone ( or many ) is validating ( and not systematically a bot ) this content is that i’ve tested many different cases - I don’t believe that google algorithms can differentiate a billboard to a watermark when exif don’t let guess it has been retouched. Furthermore delays exists between constellation creation ( made within streetview app ) and approval, that can generate many loss of time when some are refused .

Finally I’m pretty happy to learn that trusted verifiers should not make trusted photographers dependent to them;

Watermark is a bit high, could be the reason for them to reject it.

If you can try to make it closer to nadir.

Seen a few threads with watermarks like this that caused sphere to be rejected.

It really doesn’t help you in any way, you already have the name in google maps, and copyrighted to you already.

Could it be that you have marked the wrong person?

I asked for an example and I got one, how is this wrong person?

If you got a mail about this topic, I think forum went haywire.

Only PatricL is included, not PatricS.
