About Thyseus
Thyseus is a community-powered platform for GPS coordinate mapping of objects across the United States. By combining public camera feeds, multi-view geometry, and human-in-the-loop verification, we produce accurate, near real-time geospatial locations of objects and infrastructure.
What is community-powered GPS coordinate mapping?
It is a crowdsourced approach where anyone can help map precise GPS coordinates of objects using camera feeds and shared observations, creating an open geospatial dataset.
Is Thyseus available across the United States?
Yes. Thyseus focuses on GPS coordinate mapping of objects across the United States, and can extend globally where camera feeds and contributors are available.
How does Thyseus estimate GPS coordinates from cameras?
Thyseus fuses camera geometry, visual detections, and calibration data. With multiple viewpoints and contributions, positions are triangulated to produce accurate GPS coordinates.
What are common use cases?
Popular use cases include public safety awareness, traffic and roadway analytics, infrastructure monitoring, and mapping points of interest for research and civic projects.
How can I contribute?
Sign in, select a public camera or approved source, and follow the on-screen steps to confirm or improve object locations. Your contributions improve coordinate accuracy for everyone.
What about privacy?
Thyseus focuses on mapping objects and infrastructure, not individuals. We prioritize public sources, aggregate insights, and implement safeguards to reduce personal identification.
